However, the solutions are always the same. There doesn’t appear to be much of a consistent pattern to what’s going on. The really weird thing is that sometimes the same file will crash on all the machines at the same point (as you would expect) but sometimes the files which crash on Windows machines will work fine on Macs and the files which crash on Macs will work fine on Windows machines. We use standard fonts, no special plug-ins or scripts but the text and tables in our two-column frames does span both columns fairly frequently which apparaently can be a bit dodgey sometimes. At least it usually has the courtesy to reopen at exactly the point where the crash occurs with all the other changes that have been made still in place, whether they have been manually saved or not. Add that extra row, merge that extra cell, even just insert your text cursor as you prepare to change some text and InDesign seems to reach a point where the “straw breaks the donkey’s back” and it falls over. In that time we have found if there’s one thing that will cause InDesign to crash it’s a table that runs over several pages and particularly (though not exclusively) if it’s got merged cells. Over the past year or so, my team and I have worked with InDesign 5 and 5.5 on both Mac (10.6) and Windows (XP and 7) machines. Would anyone on here be able to provide any input about working with multi-page tables in InDesign, which appear to be very unstable as I’ve just got another table-heavy document project (2000 pages in total) coming up. I’m new here and asked this question on the Adobe forums but didn’t get much in the way of a definitive answer.
