StevieB Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I have an InDesign IDML filer that when I import it into Publisher all the text areas are blank, although I can see where the text is in the layers menu. The text boxes have anchored box with the heading in, I think that might be causing the problem. I've attached 2 images of the InDesign page and the Publisher page I can send the Original InDesign file to you if you need to look at it.

Staff Pauls Posted September 22, 2021 Staff Share Posted September 22, 2021 We'll need the IDML files to investigate - can you upload it here please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieB Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 Hi, I've uploaded the IDML file along with the InDesign file, if you need the Linked pics etc. let me know, they're 489Mb! I have couple of other InDesign documents and the same text is missing when imported into Publisher. It also is the same in the Beta version 1.10.2.1167. Thanks, Steve.

Joachim_L Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 1 minute ago, StevieB said: the same text is missing The text is not missing, but invisible. Have a look at the small red dots at the text frames. This means, that the text frame is too small for the text. Just make the text frame a bit bigger and I noticed this as well in several of my IDML documents.

StevieB Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 That doesn't work... The the text doesn't appear if you make the frame bigger. It's an issue with the anchored frame in the InDesign text flow that is causing the the rest of the text to disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wosven Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Did you check that the image frames aren't the problem? I always set ID to wrap only text frames below, but APub only know above & below at the same time, or ignore wrapping. It can be the issue.

Staff Pauls Posted September 22, 2021 Staff Share Posted September 22, 2021 Yes This is the cause - you will have to alter the wrap settings in the publisher document in this instance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieB Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 Thanks for the reply. I’ll have a look when I’m back… Is there any chance that Publisher text wrap would be updated to include right and left offset? I found that if you copy and paste the text frame to a new page the text is there. These IDML files are from an InDesign file that gets updated every couple of years, so I couldn’t remember what I did when I set up the original files back about 8 years ago! Thanks for you help…😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
