Publisher 1.8.4 crash when applying master page

[Alex White]

I've got a document and I had a master page set up for it. I've set up a second master page and I want to change everything over to the second master page. 

When I applied Master B, Publisher instantly crashed. 

I've tried applying it on a spread by spread basis, and it was successful on one spread, but crashed on the next spread. 

I've made a cut down demo of the afpub file which reliable demonstrates the problem (select page 4-5, attempt to apply master-B, crashes). 

Any help or advice very much appreciated!

regards,

Alex White

I think the problem is down to the fact that you have text frames from Master A with content on the pages and there is no where for the text to go to on the Master B Master page.

Ah, I have a text frame which isn’t part of master A, but was added to the page to hold some two column text.  I’ll try removing that and see if that stops the crashing. 
 

thanks

Hi both,

This seems to be fixed in our latest beta.

Is it worth me trying out the beta to validate that?

It's up to you. Our beta is a separate install/app, so you can run them side-by-side
