dl1mgb Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hello, would like to see a possibility to add your own end marks (special character, picture/graphic) at the end of your article. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fde101 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 What is preventing you from doing this now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfriedberg Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I suspect he means like a decoration applied at the end of the last text in a linked set of frames according to a style, not manually placing a dingbat. Something very similar would be a decoration applied at the bottom of every linked frame except the last one. The Economist magazine uses this house style to indicate that an article is continued.

dl1mgb Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 Currently I do this manually. I created an end mark, I copy this for each article and place it manually in the document. If something in the layout is chaning, I have to change each end mark manually again. Wouldn't it be nice to have a functionality to say: Here at this place, there is the end of an article, place an end mark. And for the future, when anything changes in the layout, the end mark moves with the end of the article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @dl1mgb, did you try pinning? This should do what you describe here. d.

Joachim_L Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Use a special sigh or signs at the end of the article like ###, write a character style e.g. with font ZapfDingbats and desired font size and call it endmark. When you are done with the document, search for ### and replace with Right Indent Tab glyph and add the character style.

dl1mgb Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Sounds like a nice workaround. But how I do this without special coding knowledge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dl1mgb Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 For example creating a font out of the graphic I want to use as end mark. Is this functionality provided by Publisher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 No, there is no such functionality in APu. But there is a way I tested a few minutes ago. Make your graphic and export selected graphic as SVG (export preset works). Visit this site: https://icomoon.io/app/#/select Then add your graphic(s), select it/them and generate font. Install the font, look at Panel Glyph browser and pick your glyph.

walt.farrell Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Wouldn't it be simpler to simply take the graphic and pin it inline at the end of the article? Why bother with converting it to a font?

Joachim_L Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 My solution of the endmark based on Find and Replace and you cannot do this with pinned graphics.
