Problem placing images in InDesign 5.0

Jul 23, 2012 12:38 PM

I'm using InDesign 5.0 for a catalog project. On other catalogs I've placed hundreds of images without a hitch, but suddenly I am having this problem: After successfully placing several images in a document I get the spinning ball after selecting another image to place. It occurs after I've selected "Place" and have gone back to my InDesign doc. This problem began after I'd selected 25 images all at once and successfully placed them. After that I can't even select a single image without the spinning ball. I have to Force Quit and relaunch. I've tried restarting, shutting down for 20 seconds, making new documents (thought it might be a Save-As issue), but can't get more than a handful of images onto the layout before it has this problem again.

    Do you use Linotype Fontexplorer? I ask because the latest plugin update broke illustrator in a similar way, if you do, try disabling the plugin and see if the issue resolves
