I fixed your images. You needed to add the .png at the end of each URL.

Anyway, this is very interesting. I think it IS a bug. If it's not a bug, it's a strange feature.

Basically, it appears that the “fit frame to content” feature creates a new rectangle that is the smallest rectangle that fits inside the image bounding box. So yes, if the image is rotated by something other than 90° increments, then the result is a too-small frame!

I believe this is a bug having to do with the Place feature. Perhaps try the place gun frame trick explained here?

I wish I had a good suggestion. Indexing is a black art, I think, especially with InDesign's somewhat clunky tools. Have you tried exporting as IDML or INX and opening that? Perhaps something just got “stuck” somewhere.

I gotta' say that this is very strange. I've never experienced it, thankfully. But I'm sorry to say that I can't think of what the problem could be, either (you've taken all the steps I would recommend).

One question: I don't know what you mean by the “[None]” template. Oh, you probably mean the None master page. Well, the only thing I can think of is to remove all the objects from the master page in question, then do a save as, then try adding pages. If it works, then go back and start adding the objects back on (or go back a step and start taking objects off one at a time). Perhaps there is a corrupted object, or font, or image… definitely has been known to happen.

I was having a huge problem with crashing recently, and I finally tracked it down to a hyperlink in the text (which was a shared destination… I hate shared destination hyperlinks).

Yes, it is an amazing thing!

It's the free LayoutZone, from automatication.com

I'm not sure I understand. You have a story that wraps around an object. The story has conditional text. When you hide the conditional text, the text wrap stops working?

@sarahchager: I think you're talking about two different things. InDesign is a layout tool — it's designed to let you lay objects on a page (whether it's a print or interactive page, setting the relationships between objects, and making it all look pretty). Exporting to EPUB, SWF, PDF, or print is one thing. Exporting to XML is very different. The fundamental concept of XML is that is breaks content and form into two different things.

What you're wanting is for InDesign to be a page-layout tool, an XML editor, and an XML database (a place to hold all the XML content so that you can do stuff with it, such as give it different forms, export it, etc.). I don't argue with you that this would be cool, but that's not what InDesign IS. InDesign works best when you drop stuff into it, make it look pretty, and output to some format that people will see (print, pdf, swf, epub).

There is no doubt that you can tag your content in InDesign, export it as XML, and then re-use that for Web, etc. I'm just saying InDesign isn't well designed for that.

Will it be someday? I hope so! But I'm not holding my breath.
