  1. So, that is why I insist on relative values. everyone can adjust them at will.
  2. I agree with you, but if so what will remain to "paragraph" to control? All it does are text lines -- vertical space between them, before and after them, horizontal adjustment, indentation. So, we should use "line" as synonim to "paragraph" or to rename "paragraph" to "line". Or just keep it as it is.
  3. Use IDML files only to convert ID files into Publisher ones and continue your work in Publisher. If you need to colaborate with ID users -- use ID only to avoid any problems.
  4. Sorry I forgot to mention, but I thought it would be obvious from the file I attached -- all values must be relative (%), not absolute (n). So, you create one character style and you use it for text, headings, footnotes... instead of creating multiple styles.
  5. Hi, there are some special characters (see attachment) that are not included in every font so it would be nice if we could have an opportunity to "create" them when we need them. The file I included is from Quark's "preference" but I strongly recomend they ought to be included into character local and style panels.
  6. If you import Word document into InDesign and then saved to IDML to import it in Publisher, you may face with this problem: you can see caret sign(s) ^ (with "Show Hidden Characters" activated) in DOCX file which is an indicator for a hidden text, but usually there aren't any. You can get rid of this "hidden" text in InDesign by placing ^S (caret with upper letter S) in "Find" and one space in "Replace". Only after that you can save it as IDML and import it in Publisher.
  7. Hi, because section markers are not very flexible, having in mind that they aren't repositioned automaticaly together with the text, I suggest linking section start with a paragraph style. Say, we want section start when a "Chapter" (or "Author", "Heading 1"...) style is applyed to a chapter title. So, when adding or deleting text moves the Chapter title to another page, the new section marker goes with it. This is extremly useful when a book is a collection of papers from different authors and they want the footnotes to restart from 1.
  8. Please, can anyone explain to me how smart master pages work? I watched the Publisher's video tutorial about it https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/tutorials/publisher/desktop/video/390003719/ but I can't understand what is he doing so the pictures "know" what picture frame to populate on different master pages.
  9. Thanks @PMan for your suggestion, but IMO it is not the sollution. In InDesign it works well regardless text insets are linked or not. I think it's a bug that has to be corrected.
  10. That is why I deleted all Publisher default paragraph styles and created new ones without "No change" in the fields. "No change" is extremelly useful only in character styles.
  11. That is because some InDesign panels are modal which means you can't click outside of it while it is open, versus modeless like "Find/Change" panel were you are allowed to take an action while the panel is open. This is controled within the app code.
  12. "Based On" is what creates hierarchical styles. Grouping styles must be done with folders.
  13. Here is a link to "InDesign new features guide" how the features were added since version 1.0 just to see that the most wanted features were not included in the very first versions: https://creativepro.com/indesign-new-features-guide-updated-for-cc-2019/
  14. In this thread you are asking for help and all others are trying to help you, not you to them.
  15. Character style is reseted if you apply only [No Style] From character styles panel.
  16. And how many paragraph overrides you have to remember? And how often you have to reapply local character formating? In a book with 100+ paragraph styles and tones of local character formating. There are much more character formatings then bold and italic. What about kerning, tracking, baseline shift, underline, character color or outline...
