Well, the Roboto was part of the template, a Google font, I installed it so the stuff would look right before I started messing with it. <shrug>

Thanks for the suggestion, I just double-checked - it was in manual mode. I wasn't trying to start from scratch, but just adjust what was there a little further. Whether I click in the box or just hover over it and roll the mousewheel, as soon as I pay attention to that box, it constrains the value to 100%.

I've used bullets in other stuff I've made with decent success. I've also done similar things to what I describe here by throwing an extra text box in the left margin, which is tragic and wrong, but gets the job done. I called this a regression bug because it clearly used to be allowed and the use case for allowing it hasn't changed - since I downloaded this template, I'm clearly not the only person who finds the idea useful. Lacking other ways to bust out of the frame, this will do in a pinch. I am not close enough to the product team to know why a hard limit of 100% would be desirable. It might just be that the "% object" was re-built with 100% as a default to solve some other issue, and this instance is inheriting it now, when before it was not limited that way. I'm a software product owner myself, and I know that if nobody speaks up, the features don't change, so I thought I'd bring up my specific use case and ask for the limit to be raised again.

I didn't even know about optical alignment until today, when I saw a cool document template that had the leading icon characters in a header style extend outside the text frame. Super happy to know that trick! (The template is a game SRD from here: https://jasontocci.itch.io/24xx, attached for reference.) The template has one of the characters set to 320% left adjustment, in order to get double-/ into the left margin. However, if I try to edit the left alignment at all, it gets forced down to 100%. From some other comments I've seen, this seems to be unintended regression - one of them mentioned a tutorial that shows adjusting this to 150%, but right now, it is constrained. I would really like to use this for hanging symbols out in the margin like this, hopefully not too hard to track down! Thanks!

I think this is the cause of the issue I just made a post about, will go edit that post.

I have a textured background for this document. Yesterday I noticed the color was off in my headers, and discovered that the master pages were on top on all pages. I pushed them all to the bottom, saved out, and resumed work. Today I see that they are all on top of the stack again. I have not been able to figure out what triggers it, have not been able to reproduce by adding, removing, or moving pages, but I wanted to post in case anyone else has seen this. EDIT: I believe this is the same issue as seen here:

So, I looked in the log file before rebooting, it said I didn't have permissions to run the task, even though I had Run as Administrator. Rebooting cleared that fault, and I have a shiny new 1.8 now. Thank you.

Thanks, Dan C, I just found the other thread, about to reboot and then Run as Administrator - if still stuck after that, I'll be back with a fresh log file...

Very excited, just downloaded 1.8 to check it out. The installer seems to have uninstalled 1.7.3 successfully, but it is not able to install 1.8 in its place. Classic "setup failed" dialog. Tried re-running the 1.7.3 installer, that is also failing, and I am now Publisher-less. I didn't run into this during the beta - what should I do? Thanks for any help!

I'll be using this to have multiple styles with the same text decoration - I have an outlined box with a few different styles in it, and this will let me manage all of them in the same place.
