I was able to rename the Artboards with the exception of 80, it stayed as 80. I ended up deleting that and making a new one. They're all good now but the print dialogue is still out of order. See attached.

Latest Designer 2.0.4 running on MacBook Air M1, OSX 11.6.8 I have 11 Artboards in a document. See screenshots. Numbering for Artboards 8 and beyond is as follows: 8, 9, 80, 9, 11. In the print dialogue box there are two 8's and two 9's.

Thanks, perhaps I have a few buggy fonts. From fonts folder in icloud drive some fonts close the dialogue box but never show up in the list. I thought it might be because they were in the cloud but most are working. As an example, Arial Bold Italic will not install but all other Arial fonts work. Also I take it this is a one at a time function? I tried holding a finger down to select multiple fonts but only the last selected actually installs.

Just installed Designer V2 on iPad. Dropbox is the only thing showing under Prefs>linked services. How do I add G Drive there? I have the G Drive app on my ipad. I'm trying to install fonts from my Mac but I have Desktop/Documents in iCloud and the fonts upload to cloud so quickly that installing from there is buggy.

OK, the pdf I imported was not a live text, I guess the program OCR’d it. My main concern is opening a V2 file in V1. I thought using a pdf would work but this negates that. I will upload a sample per your request.

It might be a bug in the export. I just opened some random pdf files not created in Publisher and they come in fine with the proper invisibles between words.

Thanks for looking into this. I had 0 tracking, it was the first thing I checked. I then tried changing the tracking and going back to 0 as well as using Arial for the font. No difference. Bugs in .pdf export have been common forever, I think this is just another one.

I don't know about the text handling settings. The problem was that I left the file name the same when exporting the .pdf and they were therefore next to each other in a folder. I just chose the wrong one, saved it, and continued editing in the bad copy. When I 'Show Special Characters' there are no invisibles between most, not all words. So a copy and paste or style change of any kind results in this: Yogaisanancient exerciseoriginatinginIndiaover5000yearsagothatbridgesmindfulnessofbreath(pranayama)with bodyposes(asanas).

I found my last good afpub backup of 11-18 and have collected all of the client's emailed changes since then so I'm just going to do them again rather than try to figure this out. It's apparently something in the export after opening back up in Publisher. Lesson learned, will definitely NOT export a pdf with the same name again! Thanks to all.

Old Bruce, I believe you are correct about the pdf and that solves the mystery of the layouts and styles going away. However I have discovered one more issue: If I try to apply a paragraph style, make any style changes, or even copy and paste text from the opened pdf into a plain text document in Text Edit, all of the spaces between words go away. I thought it might be a bad font issue so I changed the text to Arial regular, but the spaces still disappear. I even copied the pages into a V2 document and the problem followed. Any ideas?

Publisher V1 Q? - I've been working on a 44 pg booklet with Letter size, facing pages for months. Suddenly the pages have changed to 17 x 11 single spreads and all of my styles are gone. I can rebuild the styles, but can I split the 17 x 11 back to 8.5 x 11 facing pages? I tried making a new Publisher doc to cut and paste pages into but apparently only one doc can be open at a time. I have no idea how this happened. I've never set up a 17x11, however I did export the doc to that once.

When placing upright-reading text on the top and bottom of a circle or ellipse, is adjusting the baseline on the bottom text the only way to move it to the bottom of the path so it's on the same radius curve as the top? Depending on the font, eyeballing the baseline adjustment isn't always ideal. In the attached screenshot, the left example is how the program places the bottom text, on top of the baseline. The right example shows what I'm trying to achieve as well as the baseline adjustment in the Character settings. I'm wondering if there is a command, such as there was in Freehand, to automatically place the bottom text outside of the path so the radius curve matches the top text. (In Freehand I'd just hit return to pop text to the underside of the bottom.)

In Designer, once I paste a bunch of things inside a shape, is there a command or right click menu to get them back out? The best I've figured out besides moving every child layer out and up is to manually select all child layers that were pasted, then either group them and move the group out and above the shape they were pasted into or cut and paste them. But those seem like tedious chores if there are a bunch of child layers.

Thanks Bruce, it's not the space before/after, I'm aware of that and sometimes there is definitely a visible extra return between. But I did narrow it down a bit. I think that it is something in the Pages coding that is getting copied and pasted into Publisher and doesn't like the coding that Publisher adds in a style. It is also related to the order I do things. If I paste the text in and immediately delete the extra return, all is fine. But if I apply a paragraph style first then hit delete, this happens. So to remove any mysteries, I pasted first into Text Edit as plain text to remove all formatting then again into Publisher. This is the first time I've been given a Pages document to work with so now I know that there's a gremlin somewhere in the mix.

In Publisher I imported a client's file from Pages and there are several extra carriage returns throughout the document. I assigned two paragraph styles, Heading 1 and Body, then went about fine tuning each page. If I place the cursor before the first letter of a paragraph and hit delete, instead of the paragraph moving up one space it toggles the entire paragraph between the two styles. See attached screen shots showing effect of hitting delete key. How can I make the delete key work properly? I'm on a MacBook Air with M1 and latest Publisher update.

Thanks that's it! I was drawing a blank on the word transform.
