Thank you. I've got it working now. Is this explained anywhere in the help file? Thank you again.

I've used the node tool to select all the shapes I want to fill, and it does work to fill these with the gradient tool and bitmap fill. No scaling like there is when I fill the shapes individually.

I can't seem to make a swatch from the bitmap pattern. How do I do that? I have made a swatch "from image" and there seems to be something named "bitty", but I can't seem to apply it to anything. Is there a trick to making a pattern swatch?

That would only work if I was making the smaller shape new. I have a number of irregular shapes which need to be filled with a same sized pattern. I have discovered that pulling on the fill handles changes the scale of the pattern, but it's hard to get it exact, and it shouldn't be necessary. It should be possible to fill several shapes in the same document with a fill which remains fixed at the same size. So it should be possible to switch off "scale with object" so that when a smaller object is filled, the pattern is exactly the same size.

I am trying to use a bitmap fill in Designer. I unclick the "scale with object" (after filling the shape because I can't access it before because the dialog box obscures it). The fill is scaled down in the smaller shape no matter what I do. I don't want it to be scaled. How can I do this? I just need to switch off the scaling. As an example I made these two shapes and filled them with bitty.jpg. In the smaller shape the fill is scaled even though I don't want that. test scaling.afdesign

Thanks for this. Works beautifully.

It is possible to select all the endnotes for any position except End of Story. When End of Story is selected, each note is in a separate text box, and only one note can be selected at a time. Why is this? It's not possible to select all the notes to, for instance, apply a paragraph style that hasn't been properly imported from a Word document.

No point in asking really since it can't done from a Publisher Book file, which is what I've got. I will just leave it off.

The page information in a pdf when output from a Book restarts the page numbering for each separate file in the Book. The actual page numbers are fine.

Thanks. I'll report it as a bug. Are they fixing bugs these days?

I don't understand this. I am opening the pdf in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Pdfs for sending to printers are supposed to include page information.

By "every file in the book" I mean every file which is included in the book file. The point of the Book is to amalgamate all the files or chapters. It works fine for everything except outputting the page information in a complete Book pdf export.

One complete file using the "all chapters as pages" option in the export. The only problem with it is the page information which could be very confusing to a printer. There would be multiple page 1s in the book file according to the page information. The only solution I can see is to omit the page information altogether.

The page information says this is page 34 bit it's actually page 104. The first page of this file in the book is shown in the page information as page 1 even though it is page 71. It restarts the numbering in the page information at page 1 for every file on the book. I'm wondering if I have missed a checkbox somewhere. The page numbering itself is fine.

When I export a book file to pdf everything is fine except the page information. It restarts the page numbering for each chapter in the information. (The actual page numbers are fine.)
