Well, there is always Acrobat and its annotations and commenting system.
Another option is the relatively new PageProof: https://pageproof.com/online-proofing-for-designers
Have you looked at it?

XML is rarely simple, in my experience, and it is definitely not simple to “round-trip” XML (export and import). I would suggest looking at IDML export solutions, or something like WordsFlow (emsoftware.com).

I don’t think Data Merge is the way to go. And the only way to replace the numbers with the text is through Find/Change. You could set up all the find/change queries with FindChangeByList.jsx, or you could use Multi Find/Change, but as this is a one-off thing, I think you’re probably just going to have to do it manually. Painful and slow, yes, but sometimes “brute force” is the easiest way.

Not natively, but Ole Kvern wrote about this and offered a script in this article:

Sony used to do this, but I’m not sure if it has been updated for CC 2015.

Why did the tip in that article not work for you?

Did you see the various additional suggestions in the Comments section at the end of that article?

I think what you’re looking for is the feature called “Space Before” or “Space After.” You can find these fields in the Control panel (when it’s in paragraph mode) or in the Paragraph panel. (Or, better, when editing your paragraph styles, in the Indents and Spacing pane.)

David Blatner

There are several ways to do it, though none of them are as good as the new CC feature.
For example:
https://creativepro.com/highlighting-an-entire-paragraph-with-color.php
https://creativepro.com/one-cell-table-highlight-paragraph-text.php

(But again the best option is to upgrade to CC.) :-)

Part of it is easy, and part is hard…

David Blatner

You are correct that InDesign cannot have different measurement units for different things. But you can type your own measurements in. For example, if you have your measurements set to cm, then you can type 1/2" in a field and it converts inches to cm.

Hi Andreas, looks like you have a great idea going here. I hope my small donation will help. Good luck with it!
