MemberWell, if the typeface you are using doesn’t have the primes, using x0022 and x0027 is certainly better than using the typographers’ quotation marks. The Unicode standard (at unicode.org) notes that x2032 is for minutes and feet, x2033 for seconds and inches. Sandee Cohen has an article called ‘Creating Proper Primes’ in which she suggests applying italic to x0022 and x0027 to simulate primes in typefaces that don’t provide them. Other useful information about your problem there as well.
MemberMinion Pro does not have primes; at least the version I have installed does not. I confess that I have used the Greek Numeral Sign (x0374), which Minion does have, in place of a single prime from time to time. You may have to fiddle with the placement a bit. You probably don’t want to switch typefaces at this point, but Arno Pro is a nice replacement for Minion and has a much greater complement of glyphs, including primes, and the quotation marks are a little more delicate.
I would recommend using the single quotation mark in possessives and contractions, especially if the alternative is x0027. I agree, certainly wrong to mark inches.
MemberA couple of issues here.
[1] What style are you using? I don’t know of any style guide that recommends a ‘straight apostrophe’ (I assume you mean Unicode x0027) to mark contractions and possesives rather than x2019.
[2] For numbers, David’s keyboard toggle does not help because I assume you want primes (x2032 and x2033) and InDesign, when typographers’ quotes are turned off, will insert x0027 and x0022. Indeed, not all fonts supply primes: for example, Adobe Text Pro does, but Chaparral Pro does not. I can’t think of an automatic way to fix this as ID would need to distinguish between numbers needing single primes and those needing doubles, but a GREP style in your paragraph styles that inserted a searchable marker after all numerals might get you half way there.
MemberHow will you be printing the book? Will you be distributing digitally as well as printing? Warnock is good at lower resolutions; Adobe Text Pro (via CC sub.) as well, though it is a bit narrower. Both Garamond and Jenson are lovely typefaces to work with but I have found they need printing at higher quality than a quick printer usually offers. Nothing wrong with Minion though I think it has been overused of late.
MemberAnne, syncing has not improved. Have a look at the script, search in styles.
MemberTwo basic things to check; these trip me up all the time. [1] Make sure the right file is set as the style source. [2] Make sure that one of the files in the book is not selected. If it is, ID will not synchronise the whole book. If one of these isn’t the cause, we’ll have to look deeper.
MemberUsing the page tool to enlarge a page on a spread will expand the pasteboard. If one returns the page to its original size, the pasteboard usually snaps back but, if an object has been left on the expanded pasteboard, as Patti wrote, the gap will remain. The thin blue line to the left in your screen shot indicates that this is the case.

MemberI can confirm this behaviour with ID 2018 (13.0.1).
MemberClaudio,
What version of InDesign are you using? You might want to post this on the InDesign, InCopy and InDesign Server feedback forums that are monitored by Adobe’s engineers.
MemberWhat typeface are you using? Check that the fonts in use have italic glyphs for those characters. If they do, the fault may lie with the encoding brought in from MSWord or with how the italic was applied in MSWord. Characteristics applied to type brought in from MSWord can be very tenacious.
MemberThis might help you: Search in Styles. There are a number of other scripts but I don’t know how current they are. This request has been mentioned by others; perhaps you could check at indesign.uservoice.com if it has been submitted and, if not, write it up so we can vote it up.
November 13, 2017 at 2:38 pm in reply to: Help! Mysterious font – Can't override and change it #99590MemberDefinitely, the pink of missing fonts. I found the missing Helvetica tenacious and not wanting to be changed in Find Font, but that may be because the only Helveticas I have installed are the Mac OS dfonts. But, when I changed the missing fonts to another font (Minion), I could then change them again to a Helvetica.
MemberAre you using char and para styles in Photoshop?
