MemberThat’s interesting. I got the same error (“The file could not be opened. You may not have permission or the file may be in use by another application.”) yesterday, when I tried to open jpeg or tiff files from my Dropbox with Photoshop. I could open the files with the Preview app on my Mac. Then I closed Preview (without saving) and now Photoshop did load the file too.

MemberIf I understand it you want to adjust the offset of the paragraph border. You can do it separately for top, bottom, left and right.
Dieter Stockert
MemberNo solution, just a small aside: Would one single paragraph style for TOP title be enough? Instead of left and right you could chose the option »Nicht am Bund« (german for something like not in the spine).
Dieter Stockert
MemberIn the story editor you can see that footnotes live in the same story with the text they are referring to, but endnotes do not. Maybe this is the reason why you cannot link the test frame and the endnote frame together. What you can do is, however, copy and paste the endnotes in a new text frame. These endnotes, that are copied, are no longer real endnotes, and so you can link them to where you want.
Dieter Stockert
MemberVertical line: In the paragraph settings you can apply a line for top, bottom, left and right.You can use left (with negative values) or right.
Endnotes: You can put the frame for the endnotes everywhere in your document. Make a new textframe and place it where you want, and then let the text flow from your endnote text frame to the new frame that sits under the story questions.Dieter Stockert
MemberWhat does the ‘table style’ do – changing how the text looks like or just apply a paragraph shading (one answer with yellow background, the next with light blue background)? In this case you could place a new frame behind your answers text frame, that contains a table with the right number and size of lines and rows and apply the colour to the table cells.
Dieter Stockert
MemberWhat about endnotes? You insert an endnote at the beginning of each question, so you have always the correct numbering even if you add more questions in between the existing questions. And the endnote itself will be the number of the respective question (= the number of the endnote) plus the letter A, B, D or E. If you add a new endnote, zhe numbering will automatically be updated. And for the text frame with the answers you could make columns so it would look like a table.
Dieter Stockert
MemberI don’t think you can do this in InDesign with the automatic endnote function. But as a reader I would expect that the notes to one particular piece of text are in one single endnote where the endnote itself can have as many paragraphs as needed to separate the different pieces of information. It would be confusing and I would probably more think of why the author has various endnotes for the same piece of text than what is in the endnotes.
Dieter Stockert
MemberA story means all the text that’s within text frames that are threaded together. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWYgxy1SC7I But this will only be practical for chapters that begin on a new page. Anyhow, I had no problems with books of a few hundred pages and only one story for the main text.
