#Where is preferences on mac indesign how to#
(Edit: For Mac users running OSX 10.7 or newer, you can learn how to show hidden files here: Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion) They will be found in various places depending on the OS, and the version of InDesign. These are normally hidden files, so you will need to set your system to show them. When you restart ID, the program will look for these two files, and when they are not found, a new default set will be written. You can delete them, but renaming or moving them will give you the opportunity to copy them back in the event that new prefs doesn’t cure your issue. BOTH of these files should be replaced at the same time. My preferred method is to CLOSE INDESIGN and do a “manual” prefs replacement, which consists of finding and renaming the two files which make up the preference set: InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData. First, you must be extremely fast on the keyboard (if you don’t see the confirmation prompt, you were too slow), and second, anytime you replace the preferences you will lose most program customizations, and using the keyboard method leaves you with no backup to restore them when the problem turns out to be something else. There are two downsides to this method, however. There is a quick and easy method for doing this using the keyboard: c lose and relaunch InDesign, and IMMEDIATELY hold down Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac), and respond in the affirmative to the dialog asking if you really want to replace the preferences. This will remove corrupt preferences and replace them with a new set of default preferences, and often end bad behavior. When InDesign starts to behave strangely, the number one suggestion for troubleshooting is to replace (or trash, reset or restore) the application preferences.
