Hello all,
I am stumped on why indesign is seemingly unable to recognizing automated numbering in a paragraph style.
I've used numbered list styles in a document to automate question numbering to avoid manually entering it. This has worked perfectly for 2+ years until yesterday.
We currently run CS5. I opened up the document and noticed my numbered list styles which are nested into the numbered question styles, the automated numbers now highlight in pink as if missing a font, however there are no missing fonts that appear when I check my font list.
When others in the company open the same document on their machines, they get bullets in front of their numbers which really throws off the formatting.(I only get the pink numbers, while others get the bullets + numbers, sometimes it's pink, sometimes not like the images below)
I checked other (older) documents and the same issue is happening there when we use automatic numbering. (But again, I get the pink numbers, other get bullets infront of their numbers) We all have the same fonts in suitcase and the same styles.
I've checked every nested style and am certain the syles are built correctly (I've used the same styles for the past few years) I even redefined, reloaded them them to ensure they are set as numbers instead of bullets with no luck.
I also tried exporting to an idml with no luck.
To me it seems like a font error because even opening up past documents with these styles, the numbers turn pink.
Could this be an error with whatever font that indesign uses for automated numbering in Indesign? Is there a way to define the font indesign uses for automatic numbering? I'm wondering how to fix it because I have thousands of questions with the automated numbering set up.
Any advice?
I can provide more insight how the styles are built if needed. I'm confused why it would suddenly break for styles that worked well for so long.
Thanks for any tips!
