Peter Haitz Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Hello, i am getting crazy. I try to place pictures in publisher. I work and suddenly the pictures, which I placed some minutes before, are sticked and I can't change it anymore. It looks like the frame is protected, and I can't click it anymore. Where is the error? Kind regards Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Did you place them on Master Pages? Did you lock the layers? Best would be to post a sample file here.

Peter Haitz Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Hello, I didn't place it on the master pages. The layers are not locked .. I use the tool "place image tool". The left picture is clickable (you can see it by the blue bubbles), the pictures on the top or right are not clickable ...

Old Bruce Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Could we see the layer's panel. With that picture selected and all the layers and groups expanded.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joachim_L Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Still the best would be to post the Publisher file here. Everything else could be a guessing game.

Peter Haitz Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Hello, ok, but the file is 23MB. How can is provide it? Kind regards Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catshill Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Make a copy Delete all but the relevant page Upload here Also have you tried using picture frames? It sounds to me as though you have the move object with text option set. It causes me grief too which is why I never use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joachim_L Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Hmm, there are several things messed up IMHO and I (me) would have set up the document different. The main problem is, that you are "doing" your content of the document on the Master Pages. Master Pages are meant for placing recurring elements, so that you do not have to do the design for every single all over again for the following pages. To "unlock" the images you have to click the Layer Master H in the Layers panel. After that, click on Detached (Abgetrennt) on the toolbar and you can edit your images. When you made all your changes, click on Finish (Fertigstellen) at the top right. As a sidenote, one of the images is pinned to the text, the other two are not pinned. Being you, I would restructure the document. mac_heibu and Move Along People 1 1 Quote ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being you, I would restructure the document. Hello, ah this was a good hint. I recognize, that I placed a picture on the master Pager H. I use this for the headline and some other small default settings. It is right that the picture is pinned to the text because it should be there, even we extend the text. Regarding your recommendation, that I have to restructure the document. There are more best practices (or where can I read it?)? Thank you kind.
