Hi Lee, I have two pictures that are afphoto documents, and they give me a popup 'Page Box > Trimbox', but I never touched it. One afphoto did not export properly to a PDF, so I replaced it with a TIFF. What should I check? There's only three options and I don't think I ever changed anything (I cant really follow the 'help' here...) Thanks!

Hi Walt, Should have mentioned that... 5 mm all around! Cheers.

Hi all, I just uploaded my first 52-page magazine made in Publisher instead of Quark to the printer's (yay!). All went well, except I got a warning that the trimbox is not centered (left 13 mm, right 13 mm, top 19,1 mm, bottom 21,1 mm). They are able to process the pdf, but where did I set this 'trimbox'? I never knew... Cheers!

But they _are_ being saved! First, I draw a picture frame, set the wrap values in the dialog, and close it. Next, I draw a new picture frame, and the text does not wrap, as reported. However, if I now click the Edit Wrap Outline icon with the frame selected, the text wraps around the frame with my new values. And if I open the Show Text Wrap Settings dialog, I see the new values, and the Wrap Style I chose (the Wrap To value seems to be lost, though). Odd...

Ah, thanks! Done.

Hello — new user here, just in from Quarkland. In Publisher, I want every picture frame to have a ‘runaround’ of 5 mm. So I draw a frame, call the Text Wrap dialog, set it to Square and 5 mm. Next, from the Edit menu, I select Defaults>Synchronize from selection, and Defaults>Save. I expected my next picture frame to use these values and the text to wrap, but it doesn’t work like that — I have to call the Text Wrap dialog again for each new picture. This seems to be a bug...

Aha — thanks!

Still exploring the interface... What does Edit>Paste Inside do? Is it undocumented?

Hey Walt, I think I've looked everywhere, but I can't seem to find this function in Publisher, and I don't think it's documented either. I feel stupid. Can you help me out, please? Cheers!

Okay, so this changes to a feature request... Could Remove line breaks in the TOC also remove returns (LR + CR)? Maybe it's just a Mac thing?

Hmm... I probably had a return between the two lines — it is not even possible to wrap an artistic text onto two lines like a regular text frame, right? So the hidden knowledge seems to be that one has to insert a line break instead of a return. Unexpected (I never use line breaks), but mystery solved, thanks!

The Artistic Text Tool in Publisher is great for making fitted headlines in a magazine. However, if a make a two-line headline (without a return), the Table of contents turns it into two entries, even if I ask it to Remove line breaks. I can insert a line break, and ask the TOC to remove line breaks, but this seems to defeat the purpose. Is this a bug?

Okay — do the moderators on this forum read along and pass problems and suggestions to the developers, or should I file a bug report myself?

The Character Style Palatino was just a dummy to test if it would make any difference if I had my Subhead based on No Style or on the basic text type (the problem being that the subhead still used the basic text type). In the real world, I'll need character styles e.g., to select words in foreign languages so that spelling and hyphenation use the proper dictionaries. This is the Help I was referring to, from 'Using text styles': You can also set the default override behaviour for your styles in readiness for applying the style directly from the panel. Simply deselect all text and text frames in advance, then check the above options you want enforced. When you select the text style name from the style list, the previously set override behaviour will be used on 'target' paragraphs I assumed this would do what I wanted, but I don't see anything happening... Thanks!
