Crashes in Indesign CS5 related to New Pages and Smart Reflow

Anyone else having problems with page related crashes (linked to the LAYOUT ADJUSTMENT.APLN module in ID CS5 on Windows 7 x64, according to the crash report). I get regular crashes when text or table overflows and a new page is created using Smart Reflow, or when manually adding new pages via the New button on the Pages panel. The latter seems to be linked to clicking the new page button repeatedly to create several new pages.
I am working on a document created in CS4, so this might be the cause. I tried to recreate the crash in a new CS5 document, but was not able to, although I could not get Smart Reflow to work either when Limit to Master Text Frames is unchecked.

I have the same, several files created in CS4 (with texts imported from Word). The files crashed in CS4, and CS5. CS4 Windows and Mac, CS5 Windows 7. It definitely has to do with adding pages and overflowing text, exactly as stated. I was not happy to buy from my own money this very expensive software to have it crash 20 times the first day I used it. And at least a 100 times on the third day. That felt like Windows 3.1 to me. You have to know exactly what to do not to let the program crash. I spend 9 hours on figuring out how to get all the hundreds of hours of work back from my crashing Indesign. I managed to get from completely unstable (crash every minute) to workable stable (10-20 crashes a day). I could now write a manual on workarounds "how not to crash CS5", yet cannot prevent all crashes (yet). Expensive software like this should definitely be better at preventing crashes. I still am sorry I didn't keep to MS Word! It works and crashes less than 5% of the time that Adobe does. Has less features, yet does basic features better (like footnotes, autonumbering etc). I have a very serious deadline and Adobe keeps on crashing.
Oh, and YES of course I export to IDML. Spent more money on OT fonts because I didn't trust my TT fonts. Googled like a madman for solutions. The went back to Zen and not sleeping just to get my book to the printer.
Do I sound frustrated? ;-)

InDesign CS5 only prints one page at a time.

InDesign CS5 only prints one page at a time. No multiple copies. Each page in a document has to be printed one at a time. I didn't have this problem with any version before this. No matter what I do, change settings, etc. I still have the same outcome. How do I work around this problem so I can print a 5 copies of a 3 page document without having to do each copy of each page one at a time.

Sounds like a printer driver issue. Can you export to PDF and print that correctly?

How do I update InDesign CS5 to get new plugins or Get a CS5.5 update.

You probably don't. CS5.5 was a paid upgrade, not free, and it is no longer distributed by Adobe or resellers.

I am trying to save a document with the new pages and it will only save as a zip file any ideas on how to change this?

Take a look at the FileSelector
First make sure the FileSelector is expanded so you can see the directory and sidebar. That's what the little disclosure triangle up by the filename is for. Once the FS has been expanded to look like the above picture, look to see what subdirectory has been selected. Use the SideBar to select an appropriate one.

How do i mail merge with the new Pages and Numbers?

How do I mail merge with the new Pages and Numbers?
On Pages 09 I have a document that draws variable data from a spreadsheet created in Numbers.
With the new Pages and Numbers program update, my links are lost and I am unable to see how to correct this.

Thanks Peter,
very disappointing.
My Pages 09 keeps opening in the new one.
I dont think they want me to be a loyal customer anymore.
They changed Final Cut Pro, so now I use Premier Pro
Aperture 3 has been left behind so now I moved to Lightroom 4.
And now Pages 5 does not have a vital component, so back to Word.
Sad day
Thanks again

You'll need to copy the music currently on your iPod to your new PC and into iTunes first before you can sync it to the new iPod.

I have installed CS5 on my new computer and cannot make a contact sheet

I have installed CS5 on my new computer and cannot make a contact sheet. I have used CS5 for a number of years making contact sheets of my daily shoots, but now when I go to file, automate there is no 'contact sheet' selection. Would you please answer me at [email protected]

Not sure how far you've gotten, so i'll start from the beginning.
After you downloaded the PSCS5OptionalPlugins_Win_en_US.zip
right click on it and choose Extract All
In the Extract dialog check Show extracted files when complete
Then the window should open showing a folder as below
If you double click on that folder, then there is a pdf with instructions for installing the plugins

Template: Chapter level 1 new page and further down

Hi
I am making a corporate template and would like every new chapter on level 1 to
start on a new page and "further down the page" than ordinary text and lower
level of chapters.
To make the fomat style to start on a new page is no
problem. But the heading won´t move further down regardless of how many "points"
I put in before.
How do I get around?
Note: It will be a template.

You could make a Frame a part of the Style definition as well as page break before and your space before paragraph.
Frames and Textboxes in Microsoft Word
When a Frame is used as part of the stlye, space before will work on a new page.
