.RTF text standard in CMYK (Publisher)


Recommended Posts

Just made my first magazine in Pubisher and am happy with it. :) But there is one thing that I don't understand. I would like to receive the text in .RTF format from al the editors.
This is due to better functioning of text styles.

Only all these RTF texts are, after importing, CMYK in Publisher. If I import a .DOCX file then it is 100% black.

Is there anyone here who know to get the .RTF text directly imported in 100% black in Publisher?

It has something to do with the pdf export version, find here several topics about this topic.

But it sounds like PeeJee can import two files, one .rtf and one .docx, into his Publisher document. Then when the document is exported to PDF the text that started as .rtf is not 100%K but the text that started as .docx is.

If so, that can't be related to PDF export versions, as it's within the same PDF export.

That sounds more like something related to the text styles.

@Peejee: When you Place the .rtf and .docx files, are you (a) Placing them into Text Frames that you've created, or are you (b) Placing them directly onto a page and letting Publisher create the Text Frame for you?

If (b), then it sounds like the RTF importer (which is older and less feature-complete than the DOCX importer) is doing something differently. It would be better, probably, for you to create your own Text Frames, with the attributes you want, rather than letting Publisher create them for you.

I placing them directly onto a page and letting Publisher create the Text Frame. But also placing them into Text Frames. It is 
always CMYK text in .RTF.
That not really cool when you create a 84 pages magazine...

@ Haakoo: Bedankt voor de tip, kon het zo snel niet vinden in het forum. 
@ Haako: Thanks for the tip, I could not find it so quickly in the forum.

@Lagarto Thanks for replay! Indeed it is confusing that the blacks greyscale palette in Publisher are in RGB :-( ...
The only 100% kelvin colors standing in the yellow circle.

I hope they changes it into real 100 K in newer versions of Publisher.
