David BlatnerI’m not sure of all the features, but you might want to look at Cross References PRO from DTP Tools (part of their DTP Cloud offering)

David BlatnerOften the best way to ensure everything is in a grid is to put it inside a table. You can turn off the table strokes if you don’t want it to look like a table, of course.
But there are other options. Here’s a couple articles I’ve written on making things look like a grid:

David BlatnerHi Lindsey! Great that you’re trying this. This might work:
(?<=,).+?(?=serves)
That searches for anything PRECEDED by a comma followed by a space, and followed by the word "serves"
There are a ton of resources here:

David BlatnerMy first thought it that the character may actually be a different character in the font. Try selecting it and looking at the unicode value in the Info panel (it’s the code with the x in it). If that’s the case, the font designer may simply have made a mistake or changed the character width for some reason.
You could use grep styles to apply a character style with a very slight adjustment (like 98% horizontal scaling) to that character perhaps.
David BlatnerAldo, almost nothing has changed about InDesign’s book feature in over 10 years!

Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files
David BlatnerGlad you could come to the event, Aldo!
You cannot convert a document into a book. The book contains multiple InDesign documents. So you would have to break the big document into smaller documents first, and then add them.
HOWEVER, I would ask: Do you really need to convert it into a book? I always try to keep InDesign publications in a single document if I can. Once the file gets over 400 pages, then maybe it is better split up. But not necessarily. You can make InDesign files with over 1000 pages and they can be okay.
David BlatnerThat’s strange, Bruce. Have you tried it in the most recent version of InDesign?
David BlatnerHave you tried a different browser, or clearing your cache? I wonder if it’s something like that.
(If you were dropped from the program — which seems unlikely — you wouldn’t see it in your listing. So I’m thinking this might just be an issue on your end?)
David BlatnerNope. Nothing has changed. I keep hoping that Harbs’ old “Power Headers” tool will be revived.
David BlatnerWhen you log in to prerelease, there should be two tabs across the top: My Programs and Available Programs. Do you see InDesign in the available programs? Perhaps you unsubscribed and need to join again?
David BlatnerRight… there are “public betas” and prerelease versions.
You can get access to prerelease here: https://www.adobeprerelease.com/
You’ll need to log in with your Adobe ID.
