MemberYes, it’s the first thing to try, for sure.
MemberLOL, Yes. At first, that’s what I thought I was doing wrong, but sometimes even if I click multiple times in the window I’m trying to export, it will still PDF the window in the other monitor.
MemberThanks! That works too!
MemberVery strange. I tried that first, of course, as it’s the logical thing to do… but it was deleting the entire cell! Now when I do it, it deletes the text, but leaves the cell in place. Huh. Well, thanks for making me try again… it’s working now! Won’t be a difficult matter to just do that on each table.
MemberThanks for the tip, Chris!
MemberBen Harris… I often do that when I’m having formatting problems too. It’s a good work-around, though a few more steps. When I’m building a newspaper, I’ll do that if I have to, but prefer only a direct copy-paste from Word to ID if possible.
Chris… that’s a great idea… I’ll try it! I didn’t know you could turn off hyphenation in Word. Thanks! And no worries about the old thread. The problem is still plaguing me intermittently, so your reply is still very much relevant!

MemberThank you, Betty! Those are good tips!
MemberThanks! I will!
MemberI’ll try that … thanks for the suggestion!
MemberThank you David! I will give the animated zoom a little more time to grow on me – but I’m happy to know there’s a way to change it back if I just can’t get used to it.

MemberI recently discovered by accident that when you get those enormous spaces between pages, it means there’s an object on the pasteboard above or below one of the pages in your document. If you zoom out with your pasteboard viewing turned on, you should be able to find that object, or objects, and move them to the area beside your page, rather than above or below.
I don’t see evidence of such on your screen shot, but they can be difficult to spot, as they’re usually *almost* right off the edge. Can’t hurt to check!
Hope that helps!

MemberThanks folks! I was able to change the keyboard command, though the “default” command WAS listed in the default set, so I don’t know why it won’t work. No matter…I assigned Control-D which is fewer fingers and works like a charm.
Thanks again!
MemberI found a solution!
I found that I could do a find/change on JUST the carat ^ so I got rid of all of those first, and then I was able to do a find/change on the TAB^t that remained.
Phew! That would have been a lot of work manually…there turned out to be more than 1200 of them!

June 1, 2015 at 6:19 pm in reply to: Can you resort the tagged references in the "New Cross-Reference" box? #75761MemberI have called Adobe Customer Care and they told me there is no way to do what I’m doing within InDesign without paying for someone to program a script for me.
I have sent a feature request to Adobe. Hopefully they’ll agree it’s a good idea. It’s just so awkward the way it works right now. I love InDesign, but this is the first time I’ve encountered a feature that I hate.
Thanks for your input, David!

I checked that site and it says that Cross-References plug-in is part of the DTP Tools Cloud bundle. That’s the version of InDesign I have (I should have said before).
One slight advancement I’ve made: it seems that there may be a rhyme and reason to the sorting of destinations after all… they’re in the order they appear in the document. Makes sense, I guess. I’m still not 100% sure if that’s correct, but it seems to be working.
Problem still is that it’s hard to find a specific destination in the list, as it’s not alphabetical…it’s “positional” which doesn’t really help a lot.
I trudge on…
