I was experiencing that after I’ve create a new text box in Indesign, like I did in the last 15 years, I could seed the blinking cursor ready to type but when I tried to type nothing happened.

The solution I’ve found for this was to change the default “Minion Pro (OTF)” font from the font option drop down menu and substitute with another font.

I was getting crazy with this problem, I’ve search on the web “Indesign text box not working” “Indesign text box cannot type” “Indesign text box not writable” and many other and couldn’t find a solution.

Hope it helps

bye
