Where have my menu items gone… am I going crazy?
It doesn’t matter how experienced you are in InDesign this one will get you at one time or another. If you’re in the habit of using the built in workspaces, you may find that a few of your menu items disappear. For example, if I change over to the interactivity workspace and then go to View > Overprint Preview, it’s not there…
This is because you can customise menu items and then save those customisations into a workspace. If you want your hidden menu items to appear again, go to the bottom of the menu item and choose “Show All Menu Items”. All the hidden menu items now appear. If you leave the menu and then come back again later, you will need to do this same process over again. To avoid this and reveal your menu items permanently, go to Window > Workspace > Show Full Menus or go to the workspace switcher in the control panel and choose Show Full Menus. Now all your menu items will always be visible for your current work space.
