    SarahB got a reaction from PaulEC in Publisher: Double click in Section Manager to go to that section   
    Bumping a suggestion that was made in 2019 for Publisher. In the Section Manager, it would be great to be able to double click on a section in the left hand menu and go to that section. At the moment, we need to use Section Manager to determine which page a section starts on and then use Go To and the page number to get there, which is clumsy. Original discussion here;

    Serif will see this and will have the steps and crash report so they should have enough information now. There's nothing more you need to do.

    SarahB reacted to Ali in Sneaky Sales Tactics!   
    It's pretty common across all industries for something to be sold at an extremely tempting lower price just before a new version is released: it's something I tend to look out for as an indicator that something new is on the way. Not making a judgement on the practice, but just saying that it is quite a common practice.

    It works for me as long as I choose the Character Style after entering the email address. Even if it's already set to the one I want, I need to make a selection.
    If that's not working for you, perhaps there's something wrong with the email address you entered?

    From some of your prior posts, I think you're a Mac user. Can you confirm that, and which OS you use? I suppose it's possible it's only an issue on Mac.
    Also, can you provide a screenshot showing the document text you're turning into a link, and the Insert Hyperlink panel where you're entering the email address? To avoid exposing the email, you could use a fake email address, just so its format matches what you're trying to use.

    Thanks. Certainly looks correct.

    SarahB got a reaction from Jenna Appleseed in Hyperlinks not working in PDF Export (PUBLISHER)   
    I got the same message and it seems that Publisher won't make a pdf (hyperlinks included) if there is an error with one of the hyperlinks. It won't tell you what the error is either, so you need to check each hyperlink until you find the problem and fix it. Then the pdf should work.

    SarahB got a reaction from thomaso in Cannot paste (ctrl+v) hyperlinks when inserting hyperlinks.   
    Any idea when this might be fixed? It's still not possible to paste without formatting in the URL field and this leads to other issues like the one I posted last year;

    Frustrations aside, might I suggest you drop the 5year old tantrum attitude, the people who will likely help you are users just like you, would you go up to a stranger and speak like that?

    SarahB got a reaction from OldGoat in Missing dictionary but all settings correct   
    I had exactly this problem, except my missing dictionary was en-PT.
    Walt Farrell's solution was the winner for me -
    Try this:
    1. Edit Base and change the language.
    2. Click the hamburger icon for the Text Styles panel and then "Save Styles as Default".

    A lightbulb has just gone on in my head and I now have what I want First level bullets have the Numbered Bullet paragraph style applied, second level have the Bullet paragraph style applied. Not sure why it took me so long to work that out but it has already been a very long week!

    SarahB got a reaction from thomaso in Setting Base style language to UK English   
    The default language setting in my Base style for new documents is Portuguese but I want it to be UK English. I have Portuguese set as a secondary language on my Mac (I live in Portugal) but the primary language in my system settings, keyboard settings, Publisher settings is English and UK English where that is possible. Still, the Base style in new documents defaults to Portuguese – why?
    I don't have a Portuguese dictionary loaded for spelling, which means I get thousands of  warnings about a missing dictionary in Preflight – literally, more than 5,000 warnings in a 280 page document!
    How can I change the Base language default globally, rather than having to remember to change it for each new document?

    You're welcome.
    If you type a ' that's all it will find. Similarly " will only find the straight version. If you wanted to find one of the typographic ones I think you would need to figure out a keyboard sequence to type it, or copy one from the text and paste it into the box in the dialog.
    Publisher has a standard Perl-compatible regular expression processor (from Boost), but some of the handling is a bit tailored for Publisher-specific usages(break characters, end-of-line and paragraph, etc.). I'm not sure how it might differ from Word, as there are several similar but not quite identical Regular Expression engines used in different programs.

    SarahB reacted to GarryP in Adding table asset to document creates new paragraph styles   
    I think something has gone a bit ‘weird’ with the formatting.
    I had a bit of a play around and managed to get myself into a mess with some Paragraph Styles apparently based on other styles that (a) don’t exist, and (b) cannot be reset.
    Some extra work got me my attached example where the formatting for each paragraph is wholly controlled by a single paragraph style without extra applied formatting (first attached image = your formatting, second attached image = my formatting).
    I don’t know if this helps at all.

    Without being able to look at the document itself it’s difficult to tell, but my first guess is that the cells in your table have some text styles associated with them which are formatting the text in the table (even if there is currently no text in the table), and those are what are being added to the document.

    SarahB reacted to walt.farrell in superscript & subscript odd behavior [1.8.3.641]   
    The Position and Transform functions provide faux super- and subscripts for any characters you apply them to. These are primarily done by adjusting the scaling and baseline, and may or may not resemble any true super- and/or subscript characters provided in the font.
    The Typography functions provide the true super- and subscript characters provided by the font, but only for those characters provided by the font.
    You would not want to specify both transforms for the same character, unless you want odd results like your last few examples. You should apply one, or the other, to the characters that need those functions.
