floresco Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Hi all, I have created a menu flyer for a restaurant. The client wants to have several dishes in the menu lists in a different order. Is there a method for moving text lines, or can one change the order of numbered lists (respectively bullet lists) in any way? I have found no keyboard shortcut for it so far. I tried to mark a line and to insert it at another position in the list via drag&drop, but this always breaks the formatting. Reordering the lists with copy&paste every single line would be cumbersome and rather time-consuming now. I hope there is a solution for this task. Cheers, Andrea 0125 1 Quote

I hope there is a solution for this task. Other than drag-and-drop I think that's all you can do. I don't understand why drag-and-drop would "break the formatting", by the way. Can you provide more details, or an example file to show that?

floresco Posted February 24, 2020 Author Posted February 24, 2020 I have played around with D&D a bit now, and found that it is all about setting the target location more precisely. So, in a numbered list, the curser needs to be placed exactly between the number-prefix and the text. Anyways, having a shortcut like alt + arrow up/down to move lines around, like it is common in code editors, would be really a great feature to have in this case. Thanks for your reply Walt! 0125 1 Quote
walt.farrell Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 You're welcome. And I'm glad you figured out the issue. Alt+Arrow up/down are already used for leading adjustment, I think. Finding a good shortcut that isn't already used in the application or by the OS might be difficult Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.
