Or you can save a custom view point / zoom level in the Navigator panel. I never used it before, but it works.

I am not sure if this is an Acrobat Pro feature that you can enable a time based slideshow. I think I will check this on Monday.

Many paths lead to Rome, but yours seems to be easiest one thomaso.

Vertical alignment belongs to the text frame properties. I would set up a text frame with all need formatting and add it to Assets. So you can re-use this object and copy in the new text OR you can set up the text frame on a Master Page and detach / edit it on the pages for different text.

You can test this with any colours, fills or strokes. Simple document with two colours K100 and K50, make a rectangle with stroke 1pt K100 and no fill and one rectangle with stroke 0pt and fill K50.
Lets say in Swatches the icon for fill is in foreground. Click the rectangle with fill and the K100 will be selected in Swatches. Now click the rectangle with no fill, bring the icon for stroke colour to foreground and ... no colour is selected in Swatches. Deselect the rectangle and click it again. Now the colour will be selected in Swatches. For me this behaviour is very irritating. I can't be sure whether the right colour is assigned for stroke / fill. Same bad behaviour in the context bar.

I can't understand why there is a need of a "Default Master" chack box when there is only one master page by default when creating a new document. You can't create a new document which contains more than one master page BTW.
Good point. Maybe one day there will be another field for loading Master Pages from external source? hinthint

You posted only a link.

File size about 53 MB, saving under different name makes no difference.

Sorry, I am running out of options here. Maybe you try the way I told you. Or perhaps someone else has a better advice?

Have a look at the attached file. I am not sure if this expecting behaviour when applying a facing master page to a single page.
-
You exported with bleed? Right? So you get the white space to the left on page 1 because the background does not cover the bleed on the left. From my point of view everything correct in Publisher.

Correction: You are using facing Master Pages for a single page. I would also make a Master Page for single pages.

Can't open the .apub -> Warning appears: The file appears to be truncated (shorter than expected). Problems during upload or what does this mean?

Haven't changed the hardware. Windows 8.1, 8 GB RAM, 250 GB SSD?, i5-4590 @ 3.30 GHz. With this special complex document it happens when saving. File is saved and right after that Publisher gets unresponsive. Publisher uses 4030 MB memory even when idle, InDesign CS6 only 103 MB. During save CPU jumps to 30% and shortly after to < 1%. There is a small peak in CPU usage after about 30 seconds or so, after that Publisher is again responsive. Maybe not saving so often or going for a coffee after saving.

Perhaps both, PDF and .apub

A few betas ago I noticed, that Publisher gets a bit more unresponsive (unusable) working on the same document, like text/graphics blurred, UI sometimes completely missing, menu items not selectable etc. pp.
But there are two workarounds at least for me -> Keep Publisher busy with any kind of operation. Creating a new document with keyboard shortcuts + hitting Enter key is one workaround, the sequence hitting ESC -> H -> moving the page is the other one. Just wanted to let you know if you are facing the same problem, always force closing and restarting Publisher is not an option.
Maybe something changed inside the programmes code so that is now even more difficult to handle the 106 pages with approx. 100 - 200 layers each page. But I am confident, that Serif will give Publisher a performance boost with the final release.

I would kind of expect this in a way, it was 2 lines with an arrow at the end of each.
Not what I expected.
I mean, both ends appear to move outside the box, but only the upper one remains visible, so ... ? Not a big thing though. Not every experiment I do in the Beta period makes sense or is done in daily routine, but at least is interesting how the software behaves on certain scenarios.

Where are the Text and the Styles from is about the only question I can ask because Nothing should behave that way. It is so messed up.
? I don't understand? Text came from an opened PDF and Styles I created myself. So nothing is ... up. Just a simple workflow. And the solution / problem I found 4 posts back. If the origin DPI and DPI of Publisher are not the same, things get ... up. Same is for copying elements in InDesign CS6 and pasting it into Publisher. If Publisher has 300dpi as document setup, you should scale the content of InDesign by 417% or setting up Publisher with 72dpi.

I think I found the problem, if it is a problem (at least for me). The file size won't change from embedded to linked when Publisher / Serif thinks the file type must be / is editable. So linking SVG, PDF, EPS, AI, PSD, PSB, PS, FH11 and FH10 makes the document size eventually smaller. In my test case of PSD (251 MB) the document file size was in the end 19,5 MB.
So this leads me again for my wish: Please, give us a container option for placing files. Perhaps I am not interested in having an EPS editable (contradiction to Encapsulated PostScript?), perhaps I just want to place these file types like a TIFF or JPEG. I am no programmer at all, but I could imagine that Publisher is not forced to do some resource consuming calculations if the file is just passed through as a container and as a side effect the document files get smaller.

Of course it would be nice, if there is a barcode generator in Publisher, but really necessary? There are so many online resources for free or small money or big money who could do better for all kind of barcodes and Serif has not to focus writing code on a new field / topic / function. E.g.
https://zxing.appspot.com/generator/
https://www.qrcode-monkey.com/
just to name a few.

Placing a linked or embedded EPS makes no difference in file size (history saving is deactivated). But changing from embedded to linked makes the file smaller, but NOT when the file is initially linked. Here I would expect the file size = 4,05 MB.

No, IDML support in future versions maybe. More here:
