Screen shots of what I'm looking for: I can't figure out how I got this result so I can repeat it. Everything else I've tried just yields the same level. I can't find anything in the text style for the heading and sub heading. I tried to play with list levels, but that doesn't do anything for the side bar.

I volunteer for a small non-profit that has about a half dozen documents that we publish. They can be digital only or both digital and print. The print publication size is 6 by 9 inches, perfect bound and the others are 9 by 12 inches. However, the text styles for all publications are the same. Is there a way to apply the text style to to all documents so that I don't have to "re-invent" the styles for each template?

"Are you following the instructions and starting from the Find and Replace panel, then using the Cog icon for the Find field? " Thank you. Sorry for my late reply, but since there were just a few spots that I had to replace fonts, I just did it manually. But I've noted that for future, which will help going forward.

Missing doesn't seem to be an option for me: Am I in the right menu? The only place I've seen "missing" is in the Font Manager, and all you can do is locate one at a time and then manually change it. It would be nice if one could do find and replace missing and unwanted fonts directly from the Font Manager panel. Here's another screen capture to show that I get the same result after locating the missing font:

[Is the reason your printer wants PDF/X is because they have an ink printer? If so, the printer would need to be told how much of each ink is required to get black. Since your images and I assume text is gray scale, could you make your document color profile CMYK and then export it to gray/8 or 16?] Oops, you did try that. Never mind.

I'm on a PC running Windows 10 and I'm getting a preflight error "Document color profile not suitable for PDF/X. Yet it does export gray scale and I started with color images. I got the error selecting either gray/8 or gray/16 in document setup. The document does export grayscale for both doc setups. When I export, I do have to select convert color spaces, otherwise it doesn't convert to grayscale. So here's my suggestion, if you haven't selected that option because you started with gray gifs, select it anyway | or if you do have it selected, unselect.

I added a text frame to a page and created a style that I want to use throughout the document. Now I want flow the frame across multiple page and have them linked at the same time instead of having to do it manually for each page. I created one text frame and style but couldn't drag it through the page panel. The one thing I could do would be to create a master page with the text frames already existing, but I would still have to link each text frame--manually, even with the holding the ctrl key down. I tried to link the master page (using facing pages for print) and the linking was rather bizarre. It's not a big deal for short articles, but it would be with long articles or books. Aside: I could automatically generate linked pages with PagePlus (Serif's legacy publisher) buy simply inserting the text into a text frame and it would propagate automatically.

Publisher2 master created with an older release
Joansz replied to Joansz's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I didn't want to play with what I had until I published, but was finally able to get to it today and all I had to do was uninstall Publisher 2.0.4 that existed in my start window. I was already running EXE on both so didn't have to uninstall both and reinstall the latest version. Thank you so much for setting me straight. -
Publisher2 master created with an older release
Joansz replied to Joansz's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I created a document with all the repeated elements for my "master" before Publisher 2.3 was available. I updated the document after updated Publisher to 2.3 and got these messages when I double clicked the updated document originally created using 2.0.4 and -
Publisher2 master created with an older release
Joansz replied to Joansz's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I installed the 2.3 update when I got an email from Serif and followed the link to your site. I don't remember what I downloaded, but here's what is in my Program files: I only see one executable publisher. -
Publisher2 master created with an older release
Joansz replied to Joansz's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I don't remember exactly how I installed the updates, but I did it when I got the email about release 2.3. Here's a screen shot of the program files folder: When I double click the afpub file that I last saved with Publisher2.3 from what was started in Publisher2.1: I get this: and when I close this window, I get this: Which suggests to me that it defaults to the earliest release of pub used to start the afpub. -
OS is Win 10. I created a master for my publication with release 2.0 and I'm now on 3.0. If I open Publisher by double clicking the master it looks like the older release is active because I get an update message. If I open the master from Publisher, there are no update messages. Is there a way to update the master without having to recreate it? ETA: If I try to open a file that started with the older Publisher release, but was modified with the latest release that I have, I get this message:

Table of contents out of order

Yeah--it worked. I thought I had done that, but I guess not. Thank you, thank you, thank you! -

I tried that and it didn't work. I'm on Publisher 2.3. I'm surprised the software doesn't default to the latest move and not the earliest. -
After inserting photo and wrap text I get this: Which is how I want it to look. But I want to pin the photo to the text so that if I add or subtract text, the photo will stay with the text. However, when I pin the photo, the text unwraps: If I try to re-wrap the text, nothing changes. What am I missing?

The booklet I'm working on, has some emails repeated in multiple places throughout the document. In working with the hyperlink window, I noticed that when an email address is repeated in the document, it doesn't automatically update when I select it. Instead, I have to add it to the table resulting in a second entry with a space and the number of the entry after the hyperlink. Is there a way to have Publisher 2 automatically search the table and linking it if it already exists?

Publisher 2, Windows: Found two problems with hyperlinks
Joansz replied to Joansz's topic in V2 Bugs found on Windows
Good. -
The publication that I produce has a page of contact information that contain email addresses. Since the pub is a digital pdf, I need to include an active link. About a month ago, I had just upgraded to the latest release and when I tried to activate the emails, I was able to create an active link for some but not all. I had the hyperlink window open and was going down the list of emails and would enter the new address and choose "email" link and tabbed to character style (hyperlink) the "ok" box would sometimes become active and other times not. I did not see that in the expanded 1799 list of fixes for Windows. (I'm still on Win 10 and am not planning to upgrade to Win 11 in the near future).
