    Hi Everyone,

    I’m still struggling with this problem. Do any of you have a new idea about it? Nothing worked from the above mentioned approaches. I’m really curious if there’s anything to do with it.

    Hello Gert,

    As I wrote before, my computer can see those folders when I open “Recent Places” from the start menu. So I don’t think a mapping would solve the problem. It wasn’t mapped before either. On my previous machine I had 32-bit OS and now it’s 64-bit. I have a feeling this is the root of the problem. But I’ll search further. Thanks for your tips!

    Hi Bob, no, it wasn’t. It showed and shows as a folder within C: drive (with a different icon). I would think it’s a hidden InDesign setting, but of course it can be something else as well. I just have no idea where to look.

    Hi, yes, my InDesign is English and I downloaded the template from here: https://www.transpacificdigital.com/downloads/ [found this link in a lynda.com video of your course (multilingual publishing strategies), and I’d like to thank you here, it helped me a LOT! :)]

    No, nothing. I double (triple) checked everything. I tried the same thing with Greek text and it’s working there. I also created a new paragraph style with another Japanese font and created the same GREP style in it. I didn’t use the Japanese composer and the numbers are in lining figure there. Then I applied my original Japanese paragraph style to that paragraph and the numbers turned to oldstyle figure. So I guess it’s the Japanese composer that causes the problem, because I checked everything in the paragraph style’s settings as well. Or I missed something.

    Hi David and Jongware,

    Thanks for the quick response. We just switched to Scala Sans Pro from Scala Sans Regular, but both of them have Lining figures, I use them all the time. In other circumstances (not with “nested” GREP styles) it’s always working, I’m always able to use both the lining and oldstyle figures (tabular and proportional as well).

    Here’s what I see in the Glyphs panel if I hover the mouse over “2”: https://goo.gl/j4XYE

    I haven’t checked it with other styles yet, I’ll do it a bit later but I’ve just started to use the “Japanese composer”, maybe this is something related to that, I really don’t know.

    I post my results later today. Thank you again!

    Hello Furry,

    Thank you sooo much! This solves my problem and I don't even have to use an “indent to here” character. I'm still a bit confused about using tabs and indents the right way but I'm going to go further into it.

    Thanks again, have a nice day.

    I have the solution to my problem again and share it here if someone else has the same problem. My document in question was originally created in CS5 and I just saved it as a new file in CS6. When I created a new document in CS6 Smart Text Reflow started to work like it has to. So I guess the problem was the origin of the file.

    I recommend you to check this article first (just to be sure you know everything about paragraph rules – for example: rule above and rule below both can be under the text it's just the question of offset value) then read this one. I think you'll be able to create anything you want to after reading these :)

    Maybe you're looking for this article and there's another one that is about PDF/X-4.

    Just a thought about invisible textframes: if you won't change it in the future and you anchored it to the right place you don't really have to see them in the document and when you show hidden characters you can see the anchor character so you know it's still there. But of course this solution is only working perfectly for us because it's the same in every document and I don't need to change any of the texts.

    I wish it would be easier. Maybe in next version of InDesign. But I have to admit I still love this software a lot, no matter how hard it can be to solve some things that normally seem to be quite easy and evident.

    Work in Word a bit and you'll be happy to get back to InDesign again.

    I'm working on instructions for users on a daily basis. Every languages has a title in the body text but in TOC we use another expression.

    • I've created text frames that contain the TOC expressions (with an applied paragraph style that is used in TOC),

    • anchored them to the language title in the body text

    • then hid them.

    This way I could change the language title to whatever I want to (in the body), the TOC text would remain the same meanwhile the page numbers update correctly when updating TOC after pages are added or deleted.

    I haven't found any better solutions yet, but this works fine for us. And with keyboard shortcuts you can easily hide/show the anchored textboxes as well.

    Oh, God. It was the page numbering. It was always my pet peeve and today I was working on some new layouts and figured out (finally, finally!) how they really work. So page five was forced to the left, but InDesign puts odd pages on the right and even pages on the left automatically, and when I inserted the text it automatically added the next page on the left.

    Tim Hughes said: Hit shift when you place the text, you will see the cursor change to a meandering S shape with an arrow on the end, when you click the text will flow creating a text box on all the pages it needs.

    Thanks for the tip Tim. I actually tried this, before I posted the question and that's how I ended up with pages I posted on that image. So I'm still looking for a solution, though it's not a huge problem, I can fix it easily. Any other ideas?
