Suetonius Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I've been aware of this one for sometime, through quite a few versions. Me culpa for not reporting it earlier. Unfortunately, it's intermittent, but, even so, appears recently to have got worse. If I am reproducing, say, lines of poetry, it is easier to read if you indent each alternate line. Having pasted in the block of verses, I then go back and highlight alternate lines, swiping the text holding down the </ctl> key. That allows me to indent the selected lines - or not. Sometimes it worked fine ... but always if you kept down the no of selected lines to about five or six. Even then, quite frequently and without any warning, Publisher utterly collapses and I am left facing the desktop. There are no error messages. No fond farewells. Nothing. Any one else notice this?

walt.farrell Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I have never noticed that, but then I didn't even realize one could select multiple non-consecutive lines. Thanks for mentioning that. I'm curious why you're holding Ctrl+C, and what that accomplishes. In a brief experiment I can do the multi-select just holding Ctrl.

Suetonius Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 Ah! You spotted my deliberate mistake. You must've read it before I amemnded it later. I actually meant to say the </Ctl> key. and NOT </Ctl>C Sorry for the confusion. Truth be told, I didn't realise you could do that either until I discovered you could in Word and tried it on Publisher ... and Sapristi! It worked. Well, sort of. 😉 Joachim_L and walt.farrell 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this happening with every document or with a specific one? Or maybe upload a sample document.

Suetonius Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Hi Joachim The problem is (or at least My problem is) that the darned thing seems so intermittent. It's a technique that, once discovered, I use frequently. It happens with any document, not just one. The only thing I didn't mention, and I can't see why it should make any difference, is that the text is usually imported via cut and paste from other media ... usually Word. The one thing is that the larger the number of lines selected, the more likely the crash becomes. I still use it, but have got into the habit of saving just before I do.
