bobr666 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 When a pasted enhanced metafile graphic (in this case, an excel table) does not wrap correctly at the bottom of the group, although it does work correctly on the top and sides. Extra space has to be added at the bottom. Example attached. Test_paste_of_enhanced_metafile.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Just for completeness, as I mentioned when we discussed this in the Questions forum, Quote What it is not doing is honoring your specification of a 2mm bottom distance from text. You need to increase the bottom distance to at least 4 mm to get any separation at the bottom. Bottom distances of 4mm, 8mm, 13mm, 17mm, ... seem to work. Intervening distances act the same as the next lower distance. So, 1, 2, 3mm act as 0mm, and 5, 6, 7mm act as 4mm, etc. I still have not figured that out. The numbers are working a bit differently this morning, on my laptop rather than my desktop PC, which is odd. Both the file posted above, and the one in the original topic (which are slightly different) exhibit the same behavior. In the file attached above I see changes at -3mm, 2mm, 6mm, and 11mm specifications for the bottom distance from the text in the wrap settings for the pasted object. At first I assumed it was related to Baseline Grid, but Use Baseline Grid is set to off everywhere I've checked (Text Frame, the document's Baseline Grid Manager). And though Align to Baseline Grid is on in the Paragraph panel, turning it off doesn't affect anything. It also doesn't seem to be related to the font size, nor to the use of Filler Text.

bobr666 Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 Thanks for adding that clarification. As you say, it looks like some kind of grid issue, but in the original documents I don't see that behaviour with any other objects, except the pasted metafile.

Staff Gabe Posted November 26, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 26, 2019 Ho both, The problem is that "table". You have a curve that has not got a fill or a stoke. Inside that curve you have the contents of the table, clipped. Text wrap fails on shapes or curves with no fill and no stroke, and falls back on down the hierarchy, applying the wrapping to its child. I logged this with our developers. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to have reverted to the older behaviour in the released version. However, less of an issue as table import is so much better!

Staff Patrick Connor Posted February 27, 2020 Staff Share Posted February 27, 2020 @bobr666 The fixes were not knowingly reverted. Do you have a particular file where this is not meeting your expectations?
