    Well, I still don’t know how InDesign lost track of the dictionaries.

    But good news: after the upgrade to CC2015, the problem and the error messages disappeared! Throughout the whole puzzling experience, I never installed or moved any dictionaries – and I didn’t get around to rebuilding my preferences as David suggested, either.

    Sometimes Adobe moves in mysterious ways its wonders to perform . . .

    Hi Anne-Marie — You’re brilliant!

    I hadn’t thought of viewing in Story Editor (although I think there’s a training video where you mention how useful it can be for troubleshooting).

    Yes, the offending text is bracketed by icons that have a sort of infinity symbol, or maybe it’s a link symbol. If those do indicate a link, that link not showing up in the hyperlinks panel. And it doesn’t function as a link when I export to interactive pdf.

    These may have come in because I imported the client’s original Word file — although “it shouldn’t happen,” because I always import as unformatted text.

    Do you happen to know what those icons mean or how I can delete them en mass?

    It seems to me it would be a very useful feature to be able to incorporate a hyperlink into a style, so that every instance of text X would automatically include the hyperlink to page Y or url Z or whatever one needed . . .

    Many thanks!

    You could try setting the transparency blending mode of the image to Multiply (from the Effects panel). If you are just getting a white background around the image, this should make the white disappear into whatever is below it on the page.

    I often do this as a quick fix with a jpeg image, rather than spend time working on the image in Photoshop.
