David BlatnerIt's because you're holding down the Option/Alt key. That tells InDesign to center the transformation. (As far as I know, it has always been like that.)
David BlatnerThis also happens when the document is pushed from one color space to another using Edit > Convert to Profile.
I bet the Edit > Color Settings were set to CMYK > Convert to Working Space (instead of the far more sane Ignore Linked Profiles Preserve Numbers). This is a huge (but fortunately rare) problem.

David BlatnerNo idea what photo impact pro is, but it sounds like an image editing program (similar to photoshop). If so, then you should be able to export images as jpg or tiff file format, and those you can import into InDesign.
David BlatnerYou can download this script here, for your convenience:
https://creativepro.com/downloads/forcedl/stateAbbreviations.jsx
If your browser puts a .txt at the end, remove that (it should end .jsx)
Put it in the Scripts Panel folder, which we describe here: https://creativepro.com/how-to-install-scripts-in-indesign.php
Hope that helps!
David BlatnerDoes this help?
David BlatnerI would try a google or bing search for “acrobat forms calculations” and you'll find a bunch of tutorials, such as:

or

Good luck!
David BlatnerYup: Choose Delayed from the Live Screen Drawing pop-up menu, in the Interface pane of the Preferences dialog box.
Agree that it's annoying.
David BlatnerI just answered this in a blog post comment — not sure if that was you.

Basically, the trick is to apply tracking to the one character.
David BlatnerI would strongly recomment rebuilding preferences: https://creativepro.com/reb…..rences.php
David BlatnerThat is very strange! Is it related to this post:
David BlatnerSounds like perhaps you have applied a character style to all your text by accident.
Try deselecting everything — is a character style already selected in the character styles panel? If so, it's become the default. Oops. Click None.
David BlatnerI'd check out these two blog posts and the 'drop 20 pounds' article they refer to:

David BlatnerWell, the answer is maybe… it depends on what settings you choose in Acrobat's optimize pdf dialog box. InDesign cannot strip xmp metadata, for example, or document overhead, etc. But it can adjust image resolution, etc.
David BlatnerAlso: You could make a footnote (superscript) character style, and then apply it using grep styles.
David BlatnerWell, most people use the footnote feature in InDesign, which should apply the footnotes automatically. Word's footnotes usually convert into InDesign's footnotes (unless you're using a really old version of InDesign that doesn't do footnotes, I guess… or the footnotes are in a table… InDesign can't do footnotes inside tables).
