I'm a long time XPress user, trying to wrap my head around Publisher. Started a new document (layout for Z fold). So traditionally you start with a DL sized page and place 3 of them together, this is easy in XPress. You drag a new page next to the next in the Page Layout and it snaps to the next. Tried that with Publisher and it doesn't do anything. Looked around the menus to see if I'd missed anything, it doesn't look like it's possible? So do I have to start with a landscape page and then spend extra time putting in the guides?

Because Google doesn't allow linking anymore I have an Issue that relates to this problem. Publisher is forcing the colour I select for a text frame background on to the next text frame I draw - how do I turn this function off? Its driving me nuts! When I deselect the txt frame. The colour persists

I think this needs a lot of work. A file that is just 7.3MB in Id (with linked graphics) is nearly 500MB in Publisher! I thought the photos were being embedded, but when I looked at the Resource Manager, it tells me that they're linked!

Ok, so after 25 years of using Photoshop, I was intrigued by this app, but after battling with it for a few hours it's just so unlike Photoshop in it's use I can't seem to get my head around why some things are done in the way you've chosen? I would have thought you'd try and make it the same in the use, so as to allow people to easily jump ship? :mellow:
