Anyone ever get the hand tool error, when pressing the space bar you normally get the hand tool to move around the page. When pressing the space bar nothing happens. Seems to be some type of bug, happened to me in CS3 before also. Anyone know how to fix it? I already restarted all of my open Adobe programs and that didn't work. It was working a couple of minutes ago, weird.

use the hand tool , not your actual hand.

Obviously, it won’t work if you have the Text tool activated. You’ll just get a bunch of spaces in the text box you have highlighted.
Just sayin’...

Trash your prefs and start again.
I had the same issue with CS3 and it was traced to Outlook (on Mac)...

Having this same problem in InDesign CS4 - cannot get the Hand Tool to activate while holding space. Tried deleting prefs and restarting InDesign - still not working.
Anyone else have this problem?

This has been a(n infrequent) bug since CS2 I think.
