InDesign has never let you add lots of pages to the same spread… all in the same pasteboard… I wonder if you had been using Adobe Illustrator? That's the way Artboards work there.

But maybe this article will help you get what you want in InDesign:

Export what? Need waaaay more information for us to be helpful. :)

I guess I would try exporting to IDML, then try opening that file on a computer that does not have PageScript or other plug-ins installed, and that has had its preferences rebuilt.

It does sound as though it has more to do with the files themselves than with the particular program or system or fonts. Very weird.

I just got this notice about the ACE Recertification exam from someone at Adobe: “The InDesign exam was released in November, so the deadline is the end of February.”

It's going to be tricky! You might be able to manage it by making a TOC then doing a bunch of find/change to kind of merge stuff together. And you could do it with a custom script. No one-step solution I think, though.

Wonderfully obscure solution to this problem… it's the same issue, fundamentally, as this post on how to rotate text inside a frame:

Draw a tiny frame on top of the triangle, select both, then choose object > pathfinder > add. Weird, eh?!

I don't remember how to type that character in Windows, but google might know.

But now I see what you're saying: You're inserting the character and then typing more characters after it. My guess is that when you insert the character, it's actually changing the font to something else! The glyphs panel can change the font (see the font name and style in the lower-left corner of the panel). Same thing with superscript/subscript. Perhaps the “special” character you're getting is actually changing the font or style, which messes up the other characters. Instead, try typing “resume.” (with some text after it) and then go back and select the e and replace just it.

You can kind of get there with the Manage Extensions feature (which is in the InDesign menu on the Mac and… um… Help menu in Windows?)

But most people install plug-ins manually:

If they're scripts, it's different:

However, I can tell you that if they're plug-ins, they will not work across versions. All plug-ins have to be updated for each version of InDesign. Scripts sometimes work from one version to the next.
