That is really weird. I would also suggest rebuilding your preferences: https://creativepro.com/resources/faq

There is no automatic way to make text automatically shrink to fit a frame. Colin Flashman (who will be presenting at this year’s PePcon in San Diego) wrote up an interesting workaround here: https://colecandoo.com/2012/02/18/square-pegs-now-fit-into-round-holes/

I love your idea, Ari. And I totally agree that you and many other “readers” out there have amazing things to share. We welcome that. In fact, there’s a “Write for Us” link at the bottom of the page ( https://creativepro.com/write-for-us ). Tell us what you’d like to write about, and Mike will get back to you ASAP with instructions on how to proceed.

Many of our authors today started just like this!

Here in the 21st century, the only thing we know is that no one one can know it all! That’s why it’s so important for us all to work together and share our knowledge. “Together we thrive!”

Thanks for reaching out on this.

Is it happening with any particular kinds of links? Or truly all the links?

A red circle means that InDesign can’t find a URL. A red flag usually means it’s looking for a “text anchor.” If the anchor is in a different InDesign document which isn’t where it is expected, that could certainly happen. I hate using text anchors from one document to another; it can cause too many problems. Much better to have all the documents together in one huge document if you need that kind of thing.

I think we’re going to run this in tomorrow’s “tip of the week” email, so look for solutions there. (Spoiler: There’s no good way to deal with tables of unequal width.)

As for uploading images to the forum: you’d need to upload it somewhere like imgur and then post a link here.
