Hi dcarvalho84, The change was to fix the above issue.

Hi Frozen Death Knight, I've checked this in the latest Publisher Beta (420) and it seems to be fixed. Can you make sure that you are definitely running the beta and also that you have Ctrl-Run Up and 'Reset Studio' just in case any setting have been saved that are interfering with the fix.

Hi Mick, Thanks for the report. The issue potentially has more impact than your report might suggest, so we have replaced Build 419 with a Build 420.

Hi, Due to this issue we have replaced the previous Build 419 with a Build 420. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Hi ea0723, I have attached a mended copy of your document and also we have a fix that should prevent this from re-occurring, that will be integrated into the release. Many thanks for reporting the issue. Nice book by the way TRM_for_Print_v23_mended.afpub

Thanks for your patience with this. The original issue reported at the top of the thread with swatch selection has been logged and fixed for the release. Thomaso - your export issue still needs investigation.
