Oh, well that’s a bigger problem. Maybe export the document as IDML and open it again (that gets rid of most document corruption). Or check to see if you need to Accept All in the Track Changes panel? Not sure why it wouldn’t show up there.

Jim, I think you already asked this (and I already answered) in a different forum here: https://creativepro.com/topic/indesign-index-for-mac

You need to remove the index entries from the Index panel. That is, find them in the alphabetical list of topics, then twirl open the triangles, select them and click the Delete button at the bottom of the Index panel.

While this post is slightly different, the underlying ideas should help:

Also note that I discussed this same process in my video title on Data Merge at lynda.com

How do you get the checkbox over the image to check itself when the artwork is 100%? That sounds like some third-party software you have installed.

I don’t think you can have it all, but this will get you close… one of my favorite data merge techniques, explained by Colin Flashman: https://creativepro.com/data-merging-individual-records-separate-pdfs.php
(Colin also wrote a great feature/cover article about data merge in InDesign Magazine a while back.)
