This also suggests that Publisher does not pass page size information to the printer driver when an external driver is used. At least, not reliably. I normally print using A4 paper, so my Mac drivers are all set to A4 most of the time. The document I'm trying to print is a 5x8-inch book, so it's set up with facing pages.

Nope, didn't have any effect. All Print and Export commands are for the book, not individual chapter files. Trial 1: Opened the afbook file, and opened the chapter files. Running headers are displayed correctly. Saved chapter files, then saved the afbook file. Closed all files, including the afbook file. Opened afbook file, no chapter files open, Export “All Chapters as Pages” PDF/X-1a:2003 The output PDF showed the <Running Header> at the top of every page. Trial 2: Opened ONE chapter file with a running header, confirmed it displays correctly. Export with same settings. Running headers are correct for the chapter that was open, still wrong for the other chapters. Trial 3: Closed all files again. Selected Book > Print, > Save as PDF using the Mac default PDF driver All headers are wrong, and the page size has been changed to A4 with the text block centered Trial 4: Same as Trial 2, using “Save as PDF” option Same results as Trial 2 Trial 5: No Chapters open, Print > PDF > Open in Preview All headers wrong Trial 6: One chapter open Same results as Trial 2 Trial 7 No chapters open. Print > “Save as Adobe PDF” using Adobe CC driver All running headers wrong I have a few more options I could try but it seems pretty cler that either (1) this Mac has a problem (possible but unlikely, since PDF output from Adobe and other software works normally), (2) there's some weird collision between Publisher and something running on my system, or (3) Publisher has a problem.

MacOS 10.15.7, Publisher 2.1.0, Adobe CC subscription, BitDefender and other background stuff. If the layout files are closed and the book is exported to PDF, the running headers are exported as RUNNING HEADER. If the layout files are open and the book is exported to PDF (no other changes, just open all the book files), running heders are exported correctly.

Thank you for the various responses, most of which would solve my problem neatly. I was especially pleased to see thomaso's and v_kyr's comments that I can just use a browser to link directly to the pertinent help file... something that had never occured to me. Now that I know where the help files are located, I can do all sorts of things. I've been manipulating lproj files for years, but it never occured to me to actually look inside one! Learn something new every day etc. I appreciate the quick and very useful responses!

I need to be able to access the Publisher v2.1 Help files in (at least) two languages, and on my Mac it seems to automatically select the OS primary language. If I knew where they were located it would be easy enough to arrange to access the right one, but I can't seem to locate them. Any hints?
