Can't Select Text to Create Character Styles or Drop Caps


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to build templates for some projects and Publisher won't allow me to select or click on the inside of the text. It only allows the cursor at the beginning or end of the paragraph. I can create drop caps for a paragraph style, but the cap starts at every paragraph.

I am having this particular issue and it is filler text that I inserted so I could create styles for a book template.

You can't select individual characters in Filler Text. Right click on the text and choose Expand Field.

There's a Preference in the application to insert Filter Text as plain text that some users prefer.
