Can't type to folder names in Save/Export dialogs in InDesign CS4

[bRad]

More of an annoyance, and I'm unsure whether this is a problem with
Vista or InDesign, however since moving workstations I've been having
problems with the Save/Export dialogs in InDesign CS4.

Like normal windows behaviour, you can usually "type to" a folder/file
by first clicking a folder in the dialog and then typing the name of
the folder/file. This works perfectly when using the Open and Place
dialogs, however for some reason when I start to "type to" a folder/
file in the Save/Export dialogs it instead begins to replace the
filename, even though I've already clicked a folder in the dialog
therefore unselecting the "File name:" box.

This is quite annoying when I've got many folders to navigate around,
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Brad, you may want to reset your Indesign preferences and see if
this solves your problem.

To do this, rename the folder in "C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]
\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\[indesign version]" to "C:\Documents
and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\[indesign
version]_backup" (you could also just delete the folder but I always
prefer keeping a backup of my preferences, just in case).

Hope this helps.
