I am going to post this issue for the developers as a usability problem. This predicament has wasted me and others endless hours sorting this design setting that needs to be more clearly mentioned. I found one line not even highlighted that makes all the difference on the Baseline help page. "The baseline grid's Grid Spacing option overrides the leading value of frame text." No mention on the Leading page that this will constrain your layout tweaking severely...and get you thinking it's a bug or you are an idiot. 🤨

OMG you solved a problem that was driving me looney. Baseline Grid was on and leading adjustments would seem buggy not responsive. Many thanks. How many others has this perplexed?

Gabe it was the Place shortcut key I had changed it to Alt + P Don't know what it activates, but once I used it, it turns something on and kills all my hotkeys till I exit the program. 😕 I tried looking in the Task Manager, ended the task on a ton of things..nothing...it's a mystery?? Any way back to producing this book. Many thanks for your input, sanity has been restored. 😉

Seriously you have no problems! Ok then that reduces my suspects 🙄 I am using the 1.8.3.641 version. I know what you mean there is a nefarious app running in the background interfering. How pasting a file would turn it on is a mystery. I will continue to look around for the culprit... likely a spellchecker or clipboard app hmmm?? stay tuned....

Hi I went through my Win 10 keyboard menus, everything is turned off. When I start Publisher the common hotkeys to cut, paste, select all, undo work in my layout. The moment I Place or drag and drop text into a text box those hotkeys do an Insert "" thing as seen in my History screen cap. I have included a test file for someone to try this. Place the file in a layout and tell me if you keys go bonkers (as you Brits say lol) It would be hard to believe but I am willing...that my text file corrupts your program with some garbage. It is a .docx file BUT not from Word. I use Libre Office and my editor proofed it in perhaps Word. To clean it up, with the least amount of grief I also resaved it in Wordpad to strip out the extra code. I am trying to save only my bold and hyperlinks when pasting into the layout. Let me know Dan (from Canada) Carrick Tract info.JG.docx

I am at a loss and wondering if this a bug. So after I start Publisher the standard Hot Keys to Select ALL, Copy and Paste stop working when I am trying to work with text. I can no longer select text or cut and paste using my keyboard. What happens instead is some weird INSERT functions that adds other characters. Have no idea where this is coming from but it's slowing me down driving me nuts. 🥺 Anyone have clues? Dan

Very interesting and informative. I shall have to try and test a few things on my own. Anything to bring down the file size is good news. 😁 Dan

OMG! That it! When you Place the file into Publisher rather then Paste it in, it retains the Hyperlinks. Major victory, I shall have to test this as an PDF output to see if there are any bugs. Last year there were problems... As to whether I overlooked this a year ago or the code has matured...regardless thanks for saving me a ton of time! Dan

Walt thanks for the input. I used every shortcut and hot key combo I could manage to streamline the process. Including a nice app called Ditto. Still it was (and will be again) a momentous task at 300+ links for my eBook. The links I use are already embedded on Wordpress pages. Yet there is no way to copy them into Publisher or via a go between like Word, Libre Office, Google Docs. Nothing is going to work. 😕

I have to add my vote and input to this lack of a Hyperlink import feature. A year ago I made a request and still nothing has changed. I would have thought in this digital age that it is a key feature needed in Publisher. I have hundreds of hyperlinks again for my new book project. It is going to be a long and boring cut and paste for a few days to put those links all back on the book pages. Sure was hoping this time around I could avoid that pain. 😒 I have no idea what it takes to code this in but please spare us all this tedious grind...one day soon! Dan

Hmmm Interesting to know and answers a few reasons why... BUT I am shocked to see my Nikon raw file ballon from 15 MB to 280MB when saved as .afphoto. As stated here and elsewhere unacceptable storage size for multiple edits, as in 100s of pictures. Solutions are needed asap to keep HD space lean. svp

Hi In the process to format a Kindle ebook for Amazon I ran into a hyperlink issue that I can not solve. An exported PDF from the lastest Pub .376 is imported into Kindle Create and shows extra links area. Lines that would normally be under just the chosen words extend beyond. These red lines are in the screen cap. This is a preview Kindle page. Example: Note how red lines for Midland MTB Club extend left under Local Clubs - and to the next line under Access - Drive north of. This hyperlink should only be under Midland MTN Club. And I can not find a workaround...stuck Ideas, fixes? Dan Master page hyperlink Kindle bug.pdf Master_page_hyperlink_Kindle_bug.afpub

Hi Jon I uploaded a portion of the book layout for you to test. There are enough pages to get to the problems. 1 Hyperlink Tab only some links are shown. None from child Master pages. (any of the trail reviews in the layout) And is the other bug I mentioned at the beginning of this thread were with separate hyperlink sharing adjacent links when output as a PDF. (notably on the pages with Similiar Trails) 2 Having a paragraph justification issue, not sure it is a bug or a setting I missed. Random lines have returns much too soon. Words should and could fit on the next line up but they are not placed there. To fix I would delete the space between the words and add it back. Poof word(s) move up to proper justification. Why this happens?? Was it my text import from RTF Word files that had stray editor markup?? 3 The latest version of Pub. is a memory hog with older files that I do a Save As. RAM jumps from 3GB to 7GB when this file is loaded.

Thank Jon That worked but not 100%. I have been finishing a book project with ver.305... So with some hesitation, I installed.337 and it does show in the Hyperlink menu links from the master pages. But not from the child master pages built from the original master. (which is most of the book) I do not have time to test anything more than that. On another note, this current version is a memory hog for me. I have 8GB ram and it's all used up. Load the same file into the older .305 was 2 GB less. AND now this Publisher program will not let me run the older version. I am screwed!

Thanks, Walt you the man... OK, so what I thought should happen actually does not, though maybe it should?? Any way saw your file, (again thanks for the effort) and will study the structure. You got me thinking of another way to make a TOC, but have yet to try. (busy with other bits) What if you made separate text boxes on the page for each section to control the layout and headings. Hmmm till later....Dan
