When using custom keyboard shortcuts in Publisher, all I get when I press the key combinations are a ‘bonk’ sound from the Mac. I have the following custom shortcuts And these Previous Page and Next Page shortcuts work if I select them from the menu: But not from the keyboard.

I note that this is still not functional. It is almost incomprehensible that this bug is still present in an print publishing application, rendering it useless. Incredible.

Looks like you have omitted CE and BC(E). I would add those, and give them the name ‘Common Era’ and ‘Before Common Era’ respectively.

Removing ‘Leading Override’ in character style not possible. Every time I edit the character style and set the Leading Override to [No change] and press OK, the Leading Override is not actually removed. Screen Recording 2023-01-09 at 13.55.05.mov

Word boundaries are not correct when tagging character styles in endnotes. As can be seen in the attached video, I am trying to tag the first word after the endnote number with a small-caps character style (I am tagging it via a keyboard shortcut to a small-caps character style). Even though I only want the first word tagged, Publisher also tags the note number with this character style (you can see that it also gets the increased tracking from the character style). There is seemingly no way to limit the character style to just the first word. As soon as the only thing separating the note number and the first word of the note body is a tab, then the character style is applied to both. Screen Recording 2023-01-09 at 13.40.43.mov

When I choose styles for tagging hyperlinks I am presented with this very long list of the defined styles, but repeated over and over. Is this some clever feature I don’t understand?

I have set the keyboard shortcuts as seen in the screenshot. Previous Page & Next Page both work. The Last Page shortcut works, but not the First Page shortcut using the <Home> key. Setting the First Page shortcut to F14 does work.

A sorely needed feature is a scope for the Find & Replace feature in Publisher. As it is now the only way to limit the scope is by putting in markers into the document and then using regex. Convoluted, cumbersome, and error prone. What is needed are simple scope settings: Whole document Story (single- or multipage text-frames that contain one article of text) Page(s) Selection

Right. I hope you realise that this missing functionality is essential for all academic publishing.

Let’s get back on track with this question: I want a method to make more than one reference to a (foot|side|end)note in the body copy. A method that works with links between reference and note-body in PDFs. Is there some way to achieve this?

For one, the user would have to have invisibles enabled to see the brackets. Also, if invisibles are enabled, then the brackets enclose the reference number, thus it is easy to conclude that this is a ‘special number field’ and I should not touch it. Anyway, a bit of documentation would do wonders.

So the notes must be inside the brackets. This is not obvious.

Alright. In the screenshots I put the cursor at the end of the paragraph that ends with 'discussion', right-clicks and choose 'Insert an Endnote'. As soon as I do that I get what is shown in the second screenshot where the note-body of ref 46 is cut from 46 and moved into the note-body of this new note-body 47.

I know all about ZWNJ et al. Also what I did to remedy it. Since no keep-with option is forthcoming, I am led to the next issue: How can I copy a note-reference and re-use it later in the document? I far as I can see there is no way to do this (other than to enter it manually and style it the same as the note-refences, in which case the links to the not-body will be missing).

Those are not push notifications.

Walt, when I click my bell icon (which I assume lists all the notification I have ever had), then there are no entries for the this thread until I turned it on today. The thread have been set to "Following" since I started it.

I just double checked my notifications (the bell icon pages), and this thread does not show up until today. Let me reiterate my question: Why does the forum system show me as "Following" and "Do not send me any notification", they are mutually exclusive, logically speaking.

And while we are at it, why can’t your forum software push notifications to Safari? Seems very odd considering you produce software for MacOS and ipadOS.

I think I figured this one out: I was by default notified with emails. That got real long in the tooth, so I found the notification settings and turned the emails off. Now here’s the issue: If you look at the attached screenshot you can see that I am set to "Do not send me any notifications", but I am still "Following". Silly I thought that this – surely – would notifiy me in the bell icon here on the forum pages. It doesn’t. If I am never notified am I following? I would say no, so ponder that.

No, this is not about "referencing another note in a note". This is about referencing a numbered note-body, with a given reference number, more times in the body copy. Basic stuff this.

No need to redo the screenshots. The issue is still there with just a blank return between each note-body. The end of note 19 is just as shown. In the end of the note-body is a return. This is not something that happens sometimes, this happens all the time.

I wrote the damn topic!

Oh, and by the by: I’m not getting notifications on this thread even though 'Following' is turned on.

Indeed, the reference '3' was entered manually. If breaks are not supposed to happen between body and reference, then how do I copy an earlier reference (in this case '3') to an additional location (in this case together with the '27'? I’ve tried copying the reference '3' (the first and working one), but that just creates a new reference '24', so no good. I want a method to make more than one reference to a (foot|side|end)note in the body copy. A method that works with links between reference and note-body in PDFs. Is there some way to achieve this?

So I ran into the following issue. I have endnotes going, and in one case body copy will just push the note reference (the number in the body copy) onto the next line, where it then sits seemingly unattached to anything, and the word where it should have been now seems to have no reference attached. This should be fixed – and can be fixed – by inserting a zero-width non-joiner (U+200C) glyph between the body copy word and the note reference. To deal with this systematically, that would mean that I would have to do a find & replace on these references after the document is finished, and then insert U+200C between all the referenced words and their numbers. That is a mess. So I’m asking if there is something like a ‘keep options’ for Character Styles like there is in Paragraph Styles? That would handily take care of this issue. I can’t find such a functionality, so I suggest that such a function be included in future versions of Publisher. (NB: If I have missed a way to fix this do let me know. This is my first week in Affinity land
