InDesign CS6 with Window 8 Won't Launch

Had been working fine, last launch was 3 days ago.  Today tried to open InDesign CS6 (Windows 8.1) and get the following InDesign.exe error box: "CAnot load InDesign.exe because it requires Paragraph Composer. Please install the Paragraph Composer plug-in and restart InDesign."  How do you do this, where do you get?

Peter thanks for your help.
I set up a new user account and tried, but that didn't work either.
Do I need to :
1. uninstall InDesign only with Windows Unintsaller (not the entire suite?)
2. download InDesign from Adobe's website
3. put in our serial # and I should be good to go?
Or will I still need to reinstall my plugins through the Adobe manager?
Thanks
I would certainly try just doing ID first. If that's not successful you can remove the whole suite, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) then reinstall.

  • Cannot access Adobe Folio Builder using Indesign (CS6) on Windows 7, error message is 'An error has occured while trying to sign in to the Folio Builder Panel' [IMS_ERROR_FAILURE]

    Cannot access Adobe Folio Builder using Indesign (CS6) on Windows 7, error message is 'An error has occured while trying to sign in to the Folio Builder Panel' [IMS_ERROR_FAILURE]

    Yes, I can open the DPS portal via the Folio Builder panel within InDesign. Although I have created Folios locally within InDesign CS6, the DPS portal is empty and everthing greyed out with just the text "There are no folios to display. Create folios with the folio builder in InDesign".
    If I try to sign in within the Folio Builder panel in InDesign, I get the error message [IMS_ERROR_FAILURE] . In addition I am also not able to access the "Help" menu from within InDesign although I am connected to the internet.
    To complicate it even further, I am working in the UK whereas all internet control (firewall) and licences are handeled by head office in Germany. I am not sure if this is a firwewall issue or not but if the IT department in Germany could get support from Adobe to understand the access requirements, this may help.
    Hopefully using the forum someone out there will know the answer.

  • InDesign CS6 for Windows: Type tool crashes program and am getting missing plug-in msgs.

    Just installed InDesign CS6 for Windows. When I open the program, I receive three messages:
    (1) Paragraph Panel.APLN needs Justification Panel plugin;
    (2) Runin Styles Panell.APLN needs Find and Change Panel plug-in;
    (3) Objectstylesui.APLN needs Graphics Panel plug-in.
    To top it off, the type tool crashes the program.
    I couldn't locate any current forum postings that appeared to help. I have uninstalled and re-installed the software. I have done an update from Adobe.
    Advice? This is an educator's addition if that matters.
    Thanks,
    Julie

    Thank for your help Peter. My software is working just fine now.
    For others who might encounter these issues, here is how - with Peter Spier's help - I solved my problems. I uninstalled the previous CS6 version and re-booted. I disconnected from the Internet and then disabled my antivirus protection, antispyware and firewall. I had to do this in Norton as well as Windows (Windows Defender and Windows Firewall). Then I re-loaded the entire CS6 and re-booted. I opened InDesign. I no longer got the msgs about plug-ins missing. I then opened a new file and checked the Type tool. It worked fine. I opened an InDesign CS3 file, saved it as a new file in ID CS6. I was able to successfully edit text using the Type Tool.
    Thank you to Peter for your help!

  • Can I replace InDesign CS6 with InDesign CS6 ME version?

    Can I replace InDesign CS6 with InDesign CS6 ME version? And does the ME version interface in English or Arabic?
    I have a translator who sends me InDesign files using the Sultan font, but when I open it, a lot of the font shows up as math symbols. I have the correct font installed, but I'm wondering if I need the additional features of the ME version of InDesign to make the type correct on my end.

    I don't believe my CS6 is from a Creative Cloud subscription. It was installed by my IT department, so I will ask them.
    When I receive the files from the translator, they send both an InDesign file and a PDF, so I can see it as they see it. However, the InDesign file looks like this:
    But the PDF file looks like this:
    They sent me the font file, so I'm assuming I have the right font and the issue is on my end. Or perhaps not?

  • How can I install InDesign CS6 with my newly purchased serial no. when I have deleted the trial?

    hi guys,
    I need to know how I can install InDesign CS6 with my newly purchased serial no. when I have deleted the trial version? In other words I do not have the trial version any longer so I need the actual download files/folder to link the serial number to. I have CC as well but that shouldn't make a difference - I need to run InDesign CS6 for third party plugins.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi there,
         If you have purchased CS6 Indesign Download from Adobe Online, then you can go ahead and login to your Adobe account and navigate to "My Adobe" > "My Orders" to locate the Order, its download and the serial number.
         You can also download the same trial version again and just use the serial number to activate it to a full version. Below is the link for the trial versions for CS6 versions:

  • Indesign CS6 and Windows 8

    Indesign CS6 is extreamly slow in Windows 8 espeially in editing Text.

    And what do you expect us to tell you? If you have problems, you need to explain them properly and provide the necessary info - in the ID forum.

  • How do I create an interactive PDF file in InDesign CS6 with Folio Overlays?

    I have been trying to export an interactive PDF file using InDesign CS6. It exports fine, and all the content works except for the Folio Overlays I created. I created two Folio Overlays (one Pan & Zoom and one Scrollable Frame). The overlays work if I preview them from the Folio Overlays panel, but they do not work on the PDF document.
    I am using File >> Export... to create the PDF document, and I am sure the PDF document is of the interactive type and not the print type. Am I exporting it incorrectly? Is there a specific step that I have missed somewhere? Do I need to create a Folio Build to make the Folio Overlays work?
    When I mouse over the Folio Overlays, I get the crosshair cursor which only selects part of the image when I click and drag it.

    PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
    overlap but not much.
    The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.

  • InDesign 5.5 crashes - won't launch in 10.8.2

    InDesign CS 5.5 will not launch in Mountain Lion  10.8.2- is there a solution?

    I'd suggest coming back to edit your contact info out of your post. I mean, next time I spot rivers or ugly rag right in the Merc I for sure am going to call you directly and inform you of same.
    No, but seriously, you probably don't want to get random phone calls from the Internet, do you?
    Also, your doubt is well-founded; probably that uninstall/reinstall was entirely unnecessary. If Peter can't help you sort this I'd be perfectly happy to make a housecall. You've certainly published enough I, Anonymous submitted by my friends to merit some free desktop support.
    Edit: Not fast enough to post faster than Mr. Spier, as usual.

  • InDesign CS5 "unexpectedly quit" - won't launch

    Aloha,
    I'm running OS X 10.8.4 with CS5.  About a month ago I moved my creative suite from an older computer to a new one.  I have been able to run Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreameweaver and Lightroom without issue, but when I try to launch InDesign I get a "InDesign unexpectedly quit" error message.
    I've tried everything I can think of and everything I've found in these forums but nothing seems to be working.  Has anyone else run into this, and if so how were you able to fix this issue?  Thank you!    

    That's what I thought too, but I am having a tough time with that.  I downloaded cs5 as an upgrade to cs3.  The hard drive that I kept the backup install files on won't mount and my new computer doesn't have an optical drive to load a CD backup. 
    So I found where I could download just the InDesign install but when I launch that its giving me an error saying "Installer failed to initialize.  Please download Adobe Supprot Advisor to detect the problem." Which I did. 
    And When I launch the Support Advisor, it says "Inspection could not identify any issues."  Can you think of any work arounds?

  • Purchasing InDesign CS6 with option of downgrading to 5.5

    I have software that integrates with InDesign. The maker says that the plugins work best in InDesign CS5.5. I am told that if I purchase Adobe Design Standard CS6, I will be allowed to download InDesign CS5.5 for free, and I can later upgrade to CS6 for free. Can anyone verify this?

    That's humbug. Buying a newer version doesn't entitle you to use older versions nor is it technically possible since it would keep Adobe busy all day issuing extra legacy serial numbers.
