How to set Adobe default for InDesign
- I deleted the new version, then reinstalled it. This time when the default apps window came up, the newest version was showing. So I was able to select it as default and it seems to hold.
Something must have happened in the first install that did not allow it to be seen as a possible default.
Here are the steps to set Adobe InDesign as the default for InDesign files:
1. Right-click on an InDesign file.
2. Hover over "Open With" and then click on "Choose another app."
3. In the "How do you want to open this file?" dialog box, make sure the checkbox for "Always use this app to open .indd files" is selected.
4. Click on "More apps" and then select Adobe InDesign from the list.
5. If Adobe InDesign doesn't appear in the list, click on "Look for another app on this PC" and navigate to the location where the latest version of Adobe InDesign is installed.
6. Select the application file (e.g., InDesign.exe) and click on "Open."
7. Adobe InDesign should now be set as the default application for .indd files.
If you're still having issues setting Adobe InDesign as the default application, you may need to check your system settings to ensure that the latest version of Adobe InDesign is properly installed on your computer. Additionally, make sure that you have the necessary permissions to change file associations on your computer.
- As I said before, this did not work. I had to reinstall the latest version.
