I made a simple 3 page document, double spread, to play around with Sections. I inserted the text "Chapter x" (x=1,2,3) at the top of each page to keep track of them. I then created a section for each 'chapter', i.e. the first started on physical page 1, the next on page 2, etc I then inserted two new pages before page 2. The sections automatically updated and the section for "Chapter 2" now referred to physical page 4. All well and good. Next I deleted the two new pages, i.e. physical page 2 and 3 This time around Section 2 (correctly) pointed to physical page two, but Section 3 vanished. As a result, my Chapter 2 and 3 were incorporated into Section 2. I can only imagine how this would play havoc with a lengthy document with many chapters and sections. Is this how it's intended to work or a bug?

I guess there's an obvious answer to this, but I'm used to Serif PagePlus' Edit Story-mode for such things. How do I easily select parts of the text, for example chapter 3-9 out of 12 chapters to delete it? (I tried placing the cursor at the start of the text and then moving to a later page to shift-click at some point there, but this doesn't work.)

Not sure what caused this but it looks like a bug to me: I had been playing around with styles for a while and the last thing I did was go the the applied master and change the spread margins. At one point I believe I re-applied said master to some of the pages in the middle of the document. (This is a small 18 page document with a few simple images below the chapter title pages.) At one point I could no longer use the page thumbnails to navigate. Or rather, whatever thumbnail I double-clicked, I ended up on one of the first three pages in the main view. I saved the document hoping the problem could be reproduced, but when I restarted Publisher and loaded the document, the problem was no longer evident.
