Hi Doug could it be a preference that went bad? reset InDesign by pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, and launch InDesign unfortunately you will lose your customized settings you could also try reverting to a time machine backup (assuming you are doing this) by restoring the InDesign Preferences from ~Home/Library/Preferences/InDesign/Version 5.0/en_US/ I hope it works ---- Scott Strawbridge | Graphic Artist scotts1@xxxxxxx scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.liquidphoenixdesign.com http://www.scottstrawbridge.com tel:(519) 474-2754 iChat/Skype/Twitter: scotts1
