[Colour Palette in Publisher]

In Publisher, is it possible to name colours and to remove colours in the swatches palette next to 'recent' and under 'Palette'?

Is there a advanced tutorial on the Colours and Swatches Palette?

Yes, it is. I keep following Publishers' new features and will come back as soon as footnote options are included.

I just found out that there is one other issue which will keep me away from Publisher: it doesn't recognize and can't deal with footnotes!

I think the designers of this progamm made some wrong choices here. What a pity! At first Publisher seemed to be very promising.

If you just want a quick and dirty job then 'place' text with local character formatting, eg some words in italics, or underlined, or bold, then go to the text styles panel, right click on the style you want (which you may have created previously) and then pick "apply [text style name] to paragraphs and preserve local formatting". It does precisely that - applies the paragraph style but does not affect local character formating. Quick and dirty as although the character formating is retained, it is not a character style. If you want character traits to be character styles then it seems to me you will need to follow Old Bruce's advice.

Thank you for your reaction. I think i would stick to Old Bruce's method, which – so it seems to me – is more solid and flexible.

Yes, of course, that's important. It's just that i often work with clients that come with small changes more than once ....
I'm investigating Publisher as a possible alternative for Indesign. So this feature is a disadvantage. But there could be others that are in favour of Indesign ....

Thank you for your advice!

Thank you Old Bruce. It works fine!

For me this method has one advantage: i will have to perform the procedure of 'find & replace' for every new imported piece of text?

Sorry, I wasn't clear it concerns a Publisher issue.

When I place a Word text, which contains plain text with some italics, it shows up correct in Publisher. But the moment I assign a paragraph style to the text, the italics change in regular. Is there a way to prevent this?

Is it possible to create a paragraph style from an imported text with some italics, that leaves the italics unchanged (doesn't change them into regular}?
