Petri Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I have a 17 page document that need one of the pages to be moved. I have successfully added my last 2 pages into the document but one of them needs to be moved up to be the second page. This is where the problem occurs. When I try to move it to any new page the program crashes. I don't know what to really do. I have tried removing that page (page 15 which is supposed to be as page 2) but the program crashes. And I have tried to move it up to be as the 2nd page but it crashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMan Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hi Petri, Do your pages have linked text frames? Moving pages with linked text frames can create problems with the linkage order but doesn't seem to create problems in actually moving a page. I've just had a 93 page document open [it has no linked text frames as it's a recipe book] and I can move any page anywhere (though it does mean that the index needs updating after a page move) Pman AMD Radeon E1-7010 processor with AMD Radeon R2 Graphics, Windows 10 Home Version 20H2, 12GB RAM.

carl123 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 First go into Edit > Preferences > Performance and untick Hardware Acceleration (if enabled) at the bottom of the screen. Restart Publisher and try again Hardware Acceleration has been causing a few weird problems so we just need to eliminate that first. If that does not cure your problem, please upload the document to the forum for further investigation. Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

So I need to move the blank page on page 15 to be the 2nd page, which it does not allow. Also: no info in the text is confidential, it's a school project! So no worries abotu it. allpack dokument.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMan Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Hi Petri, I loaded your publication and tried moving page 15 to page 2 -CRASH! Re-opened it then found that you'd applied masters to pages. I then selected all the pages, right-clicked on the selection and chose to apply Master A only to all pages by Replace Existing to all pages. With this done I tried moving page 15 to page 2 - SUCCESS! I've attached modified file here for you to check out. petri dokumentmod.afpub Good luck with your project!!

Staff Pauls Posted March 10, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 10, 2021 The issue is related to the assignment of Master Page - which isnt listed in the master pages. If you know how that came about we would be very interested. Thanks @PMan for providing that fixed file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
