Troubleshooting InDesign

If you ever run into a corrupt InDesign file, it’s sometimes possible to fix it by exporting it as an InDesign Interchange file (File > Export > Format: InDesign Interchange) and then loading it back via FIle > Open.

If the program continues to crash, it might be time to delete InDesign’s preferences file. Do this by quitting the program, then holding down Command-Option-Shift-Control (Control-Alt-Shift for Windows users) while re-launching. A dialog box will prompt you before it clears itself. Of course, your preferences will be reset to the default settings, but if this solves your problems it’s a pretty small price to pay.
