Publisher: Bullet indents & text wrapping?


Recommended Posts

Howdy. :) I'm putting together a document and I've come across an issue I can't find the answer to.

I've made a bullet style with the bullet indented a bit from the left margin so it stands out a bit from the surrounding text. I also have a box set to wrap text around it.

If the box is to the right, all is hunky-dory. But if the box is to the left, the bullet margins disappear. I'm guessing it thinks it's already far beyond the distance it's supposed to be indented from the actual page margin? But this isn't how I want the bullet indents to work at all. I've attached two screen captures to demonstrate.

Anyone know if there's a fix for this? Or if not, maybe suggest it as a bug/feature request for future versions? Thanks!

From your screenshots it seems to behave the opposite of what you said, Cooner. There is an offset from the other text for your box that is on the left, and none for your box that is on the right.

I'm not sure what is happening, but it would be helpful if you'd attach a sample .afpub document so we can see the details of your setup and experiment. In any case, offsets specified for text are usually from the frame border, not the page border, but I'd need to know all your settings, or have a file, to say more without a lot of trial/error to try to duplicate what you have.

Walt,

Sorry for the lack of clarity, I was up late trying to finish up a project to send to the printer to pick up this morning. XD By "box" I meant the grey box, not the text frame: If the grey box is to the left, there is no inset on the bullets. And, the text frame was fit to the frame borders, not the page borders.

I've attached both an .afpub document recreating the problem, and a screen capture PNG to show what I'm seeing here. This was from a freshly created documents with nothing intentionally set other than the font, spacings, and wrap properties on the text and the grey box, so if there's some larger system setting that's affecting this I didn't set it intentionally. XD Thank you, any help or suggestions are appreciated!
