David BlatnerAH! I’m glad that you found a solution. Thank you for sharing that with us here.
That is very funny that you were the original poster a long time ago… I did not see that. :-)
I know the feeling: Sometimes I forget how to do something, and I look up the answer on google, and I find that I wrote an article explaining it. So it is an opportunity for my old self to teach my new self.
David BlatnerYes, this is the way it was designed to work, but you can adjust it… Eugene T tells how here:

David BlatnerFile paths may not be identical if you’re using a different user account, or hard drive, or something like that. I do not like linking one INDD file to another… seems like such a good idea, but it’s usually more trouble than its worth.
David BlatnerWow, that IS scary. Wow. I have not seen that happen. I’m glad to hear resetting prefs helped!
David BlatnerHere are a couple of articles that might help:

and

David BlatnerWe may not have the answer here, but just in case: Are you referring specifically to an InDesign document you’re exporting to EPUB, and then uploading to Amazon to convert to Kindle?
David BlatnerThere may be a way to connect the two, but I don’t know of any. Maybe a script here? https://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/footnotes.html
My guess is that you will need a custom script. There are some scripters here who could do it, but there may be a fee.
David BlatnerI never noticed that before… but yes, it’s annoying!
I think the only solution would be to turn Rule Above back on, change the settings back to their defaults, and then turn Rule Above off again. Or hit the Reset to Base button (but that will likely wipe out a lot).
David BlatnerFind tools? do you mean features? Not sure about a script, but Quick Apply can often help:

David BlatnerThere are 2 flavors of EPUB: flowable and fixed.
Flowable epub is like a book you’d read on Kindle, where it flows from page to page.
Fixed Layout EPUB (sometimes called FXL) is like a PDF, but you can include animation, buttons, etc.
FXL is awesome, and many people use it for B2B… except there is one problem: you need to be sure the person reading it has a reader for it. All Apple Mac and iOS devices support FXL. But Windows and Android devices require the user to download a reader app (there a number of them).
David BlatnerPeter Kahrel talks about this in his beginning book for Javascript in InDesign, which you can find here: https://indesignsecrets.com/shop
David BlatnerJames Wamser has a wonderful document that show’s what’s new in each version. He has a PDF, but here it is as a Publish Online document (which, itself, is something only available in CC):
