    Bazz reacted to Dave Harris in Overflowing Text Frames   
    In addition to the red eye that is used to hide or show overflow, if you have View > Show Text Flow ticked, stories with overflow will have two extra round red markers on every frame, when unselected. These markers disappear if there's no overflow, and turn into the triangular flow handles (which will also be red for overflow) when the frame is selected. We appreciate that a proper pre-flight check and UI is needed, but in the mean time it's easier to look for these red markers than it is for the red eye.
    (I forget when the overflow markers were added, but it was likely after this thread started so the early replies don't know about them.)

    Just a thought until there is a preflight panel  - in terms of tracking down the culprit text-frames, if you do 'view > zoom > zoom to document' - no matter how many pages you have, you will zoom out to see thumbnails of all pages at once - the little red alert dots do NOT scale down with the thumbnail, so it's really easy to spy which page(s) have overflowing text (assuming as above, that you have 'show text flow' enabled and are not in preview mode)

    When exporting to PDF I get a dialog that pops up telling me that there are text frames that have overflowing text. I cannot locate these text frames so I'm wondering is there some way of viewing all text frames that have overflowing text?
    Would be nice if the dialog that alerts you to the problem offered to show you which frames were overflowing.
    I have to say I'm very impressed so far with Publisher it is awesome. I was able to take one of my brochure designs that I had done in InDesign and recreated it in Publisher and it was pretty painless and being a long time Designer and Photo user I felt totally at home. Great job!

    Illustrator CAN do this. It's called Transform Each. Fantastic tool! We need it badly.
    Inkscape can do it too.

    Bazz got a reaction from fde101 in Order of layers   
    Thanks for your reply! I have actually not really experimented these buttons until now. I have just been trying them and I have to say they almost solved my problem! But... too bad you can't change the default behavior If I could set the "Insert behind the selection" behavior by default (each time I create a new layer) it would have been perfect!
    I really hope this change could be implemented!! Anyway, thank you @fde101 for your help!

    Yes and the "painters order" is obviously legit when you have to place layers and manage foreground / background.
     
    Of course, it could be a solution. But the "logical flow" of elements is personally from top left to bottom right. The origin (0 / 0) of the rulers is top left too, so it's easier to place elements starting from top left. Regarding that, I just regret there is not an option allowing users to choose the flow of the layers (create new layer / duplicate). It might be just my way to see and organise things but I wanted to share it in case someone had the same "issue"
