Peter Spier Sep 19, 2012 4:31 AM (in response to maddzz1)Do you have a crash report? If so, post it on Pastebin.com, NOT here, and put a link to it here.
There are a number of things this could be. It's commonly a font problem, or a problem with the font manager if you have one.

Peter Spier Sep 19, 2012 4:47 AM (in response to maddzz1)I don't think it's this, but take a look at http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/indesign-crashes-blank-dialog-boxes.html
I'd also suggest running a utility like cocktail and cleaning all the system caches.

Peter Spier Sep 19, 2012 4:49 AM (in response to maddzz1)It also wouldn't hurt to remove the auto-activation plugin for FontXplorer and see if that makes a difference.

maddzz1 Sep 19, 2012 4:58 AM (in response to Peter Spier)THanks for your help so far, but unfortunately nothing has worked so far. It's strange as my aolleague also uses the same font software and his machine is OK.

Peter Spier Sep 19, 2012 5:49 AM (in response to maddzz1)did you clear the caches?
and onthe off-chance that ID got far enough to leave something behind, find the InDesign Recovery folder (a hidden folder, I think, since Snow Leopard or Lion) and empty it if there's anything there.

maddzz1 Sep 19, 2012 6:10 AM (in response to Peter Spier)Hi,
I downloaded Cocktail. I don;t want to do anything which will ruin my mac. Do I remove System, User and Internet chaches for both "user" and "everyone"?
Thanks and apologies for being so amateur!

Peter Spier Sep 19, 2012 6:42 AM (in response to maddzz1)No problem. Clearing caches is an ordiary maintenance procedure and shouldn't harm the system at all. They get rebuilt as needed. So, to answer your quetion, yes.

maddzz1 Sep 19, 2012 7:16 AM (in response to Peter Spier)Hi,

Thanks again, much appreacited.

Peter Spier Sep 19, 2012 7:56 AM (in response to maddzz1)That's certainly disappointing. I'm running out of things to try. Take a look at Troubleshoot fonts | Mac OS X
