5.5: unable to select Tools or options in the panels

Just installed Indesign 5.5 (after years of use of the previous versions, but still an 'intermediate' user). All panels (Pages, layers, races, etc.) will be open, but they are useless. For example, I can not add a new page, the master page layer, etc. The options are ineffective. Cannot select anything in the panels.

It's the same thing with new documents and those previously created in Indesign 5.

Thanks fror any advice you may have.

Windows 7, maybe? See the signs and tools InDesign respond not to the clicks of the mouse (Windows 7/Vista)

  • Selection tool will not adjust the forms

    For some reason when you work with illustrator my selection tools won't adjust the forms more. I can move the shapes but I can't resize them or stretch them. If I have a form of rectangle on my selected screen, the hatch which are normally found in the environment are no longer there, also on the edges of the rectangle of the selection tool is not switch to the rotation tool. My selection tool also has a small black square down to the right that I have not noticed before. I have no idea how I got into this mode or other whatnot, but any help to return to normal would be awesome, preferably without resetting all my preferences, thank you!

  • The frequency selection tool is still in the hearing?

    This tool is still in the hearing? I'm sure it was available in soundbooth

    tool.png

    Very useful if you try to remove a constant buzz of a certain frequency of an audio file.

    You can still select a narrowband audio in Spectral view using the marquee tool anywhere in the file. Pressing Shift + Home hearing will extend until the beginning of the file selection and shift + end will extend the selection to the end of the file.

  • Selection tool automatically switching to the direct Selection tool, grabbing a picture box

    Seems that when I'm grabbing an image placed in Indesign CS5, it automatically switches to the direct Selection tool and grabbing the image instead of its container. I'm doing something wrong? I have to do it several times before I can enter the container and the image, instead of just the image.

    Any tips? I've only noticed this in CS5.

    It seems the content grabber, see you a "donut" are also?  If yes go to view > Extras and click on hide content Grabber or go here and learn how to use it, apparently, some find it useful, personally I don't.

  • I can't see my master pages in the pages Panel and according to the options in the Panel, they appear...

    Hello world

    I work in a large InDesign file that I just sent to our translator who has adapted in the file itself.
    I just saw that he made a mistake in the masterpages, but I can't seem to access my masterpages more. According to the Panel options, they must appear on the top in the pages Panel, but they are not...
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Thank you

    Anne

    I did an exploration of the possibilities, and I can't find a situation where access to the part of Master Pages from the Pages panel is completely lost. The separator between sections of pages, Master Pages and document is drag-able, but even by slide it upwards or downwards is not completely hide the masters... at least in my control panel.

    So, the strangeness you encounter is exactly the kind of strangeness that lightens in general with a reset of the preferences. This at least is the first thing you should try if you have not already.
