Right? That looks like left to me.

Those are all from the View > Zoom menu on Windows.

I've only heard of that being an issue using MacOS, not Windows. Is this topic in the right forum? @Arun Sarkar: from your video the page preview seems to have appeared without you making any changes, but it took a few seconds. That's a different problem than @westbanker described, I think.

Do you want to specify the size of the gaps, or do you just need them to be equal?

I'm not sure that drag and drop would "exchange content". Wouldn't it more likely just add a new layer on top of the original layer? What do you see in the Layers panel before/after the operation?

Can you provide a screenshot just before you try to apply the text wrapping, and possibly a copy of your .afpub file at that time?

Are all of those problems when you're using Morandi, or do they occur with other fonts, too?

Publisher will do some of that now. Create a Text Frame on a document page, and put as much text into it as you want. Shift-click on the link icon and you have as many pages as are needed to hold the text, with text frames identical to the one you started in. It will also let you change the formatting of the text in the frames. However, at this point you can't change the layout of all those frames (width, height, position on all the pages) without playing some games that have odd behavior and bugs. So, yes, improvements are needed. But I was asking about the contention that it lacks a text editor, and you've said a text editor doesn't need to worry about pagination. While I think that Publisher's text editor may lack some nice functions (yes, a GREP-based Find/Replace would be good), I would say that it does have one.

It's easy to understand why you can't figure it out: it's not possible to do any of those things at this point.

That's how it works on Windows, too.

I'm on Windows, but I'd suggest trying the Mac equivalents for ctrl+0, or ctrl+alt+0, or ctrl+alt+shift+0, or I'd use the Navigation panel.

OK, so you don't consider Word, or LibreOffice, to be (or include) text editors either. Only simple things like Notepad or NotePad++, etc. Thanks.

Just a note: works just fine on Windows. The text cursor stays between the D and E the whole time, but the focus remains in the Paragraph panel, allowing continued use of the arrow keys.

I don't understand that. Why do you say there's no text editor?

You could also use the Transform panel. To move something 5 points to the right you could just put "x+5pt" into the x box. To move it 6 mm up you could just put "y-6mm" into the y box.

The units are implied by the kind of preset you're using. The European sizes (A0 to A10) use millimeters. The US sizes (ANSI) use inches. If you want to be sure, you can simply specify your own size to begin with, making it a custom preset.

I don't think that's quite right. The Layer > Alignment menu is forced to use the selection box. The Align toolbar widget defaults to aligning by the selection box, but gives you other options. I think you're asking to be able to change that default.

I think you need to either move the image in the window so the handles become visible, or zoom out so they become visible. The View Tool (Hand) or the Navigation panel should help you move the display to find the handles that you need. Or, with the View Tool, double-click on the image and it will zoom out to fit the screen. Or you can drag left with the zoom tool to zoom out, or click-alt with the zoom tool to zoom out around the spot you click on.

I agree an outline would be valuable. As it apparently doesn't exist, Find is about all you have right now.

The ToC is based on paragraph styles. E.g., a chapter heading might be a Heading 2, and you tell the ToC to include everything that uses the Heading 2 style.

Select the image in the Layers panel. In the Transform panel, with the aspect ration locked, type *.35 into the width or height field. Press enter.

Or make each chapter a Section using the Section Manager, and set the section name to the chapter title. Use the section name from the Fields panel as the running header on all section pages except the first.

If it's not showing on your Toolbar, and the overflow indicator is not there, try using View > Customize Toolbar to add it.

You can use Text > Find (or, the Find & Replace panel) for this. Click the cog/gear icon on the right of the Find section of the dialog: One of the choices you'll get is Paragraph Style: If you click on that you can choose, for example, Heading 1, and you'll end up with this in the Find dialog: If you click Find it will locate all the text with that style. You can click on an entry in the result list to navigate to the text box containing that text.

That depends on what you're doing. But if you have an image larger than 15cm x 10cm (width, height) and you want to crop out a 15cm x 10cm piece of it to use, you would use Absolute Dimensions, put 15cm in the width (not 15, but 15cm) and 10cm in the height. Then you would move the crop box around to select the part of the image that you want to save, and press Apply.
