My company is finally making the switch to InDesign, which is fantastic to say the least. However, there is one thing about InD that is driving me nuts and I have not heard anyone else raise this issue, which is making me think that I am missing something here.
When I want to put my cursor on a line of text I want to select anywhere in a document, the bottom of the text tool must be above the line I want to select. This is the opposite of every other program that I have ever used. In most programs, the top of the cursor must not be touching the line above at all or else you will be selecting the line above instead of the line you want to select. I expect that when I click on the middle of a line, I am getting my cursor on that line, but in InD, the cursor goes on the line below. This is really driving me crazy. Is there a setting for this or do I just have to get used to InD working different than every other program that I use (by the way, if I have to get used to it, I will. Placing multiple files at once and easy PDF creation are too wonderful for me to go back to Quark).
