No, no vector artwork, just one little photoshop file and some picture files and text. It happened in all the documents I tried it on afterwards. Phooey. Found my InDesign installer discs. Yay. : )  This has never happened before. : (

Do you have vector artwork in your InDesign document (either Illustrator .ai native files or .eps files)? I know it sounds crazy, but vector artwork files can become weird/corrupted/twitchy. I've had it happen occasionally that similar things happen. Once I re-save the Illustrator files and then re-import them, everything is then fine. 

Good luck from me too,

Deb

Yeah, but this sounds like software not hardware....
When you google, try typing in  first "InDesignCS5:xxx xxxxx xxxxx" In other words, try "Adobe InDesign+version+colon+your question" or just "InDesign+version+colon+your question"., then try various versions of ": text crash" or ": crash while typing" . I had an Adobe tech tell me that's the fastest way to narrow down the search, and often takes you directly to the forums with similar questions.

Good luck,
Linda

Did all that : /. Looked at the Adobe help desk, googled 'InDesign crash' but immediately was out of my depth with the responses. 
May have to call in the 'the kid' ; )  (whose standard line is 'I hate Macs. When they work they work great but when they don't.... they're doorstops and cost $400 to repair')

Hi Kathy:
I'd re-start, re-boot computer, everything. Then I'd only open the software that I absolutely need. 
Does it crash if you type in your text in another document, like TextEdit, and cut/paste it in? (tedious, I know), but those would be what I'd try first.
could be a conflict, or overload. How much space do you have on your computer for operating? Pleanty of buffer?

Just my thoughts,
Linda

Of course, it's the first of October, there's chaos all around, I have a newsletter due and InDesign CS5 decides to crash. : ( Every time I try to enter text, BOING!

I got the newsletter done with some workarounds but, seriously, no fun. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions for a solution?

Thanks!
