TheDon Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 Hi, Have done some searching on the forums, but did not find anything so thought I would reach out. I am just starting to work with Publisher 2 and would like to know if/how to use the index markings from a Word Document once it is placed in Publisher to generate an index in Publisher. The index styles seem to import but I am not able to actually generate/update an index. Am I missing something or is this not possible? Thanks! TheDon Quote
MikeTO Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 Hi and welcome to the forums. I think you've discovered a new bug in v2. I made a test doc in Word with a few index marks and they were imported into v1 but not into v2. Serif will need to investigate this.

TheDon Posted January 28, 2023 Author Posted January 28, 2023 Hi MikeTo, Thanks! Actually happy that it is a bug rather than v2 not capable of using index marks from other programs! New to all of this, should I start a new thread in the Bug forum or will Serif find this here? -TheDon Quote

It's best to create a thread in the Publisher 2 bugs forum, either the Mac or Windows one, whichever you use. Please add a link to this thread and point out that we've verified that the bug happens on both Mac and Windows.

TheDon Posted January 28, 2023 Author Posted January 28, 2023 Done. Thanks for looking at this guys! -TheDon walt.farrell 1 Quote
MikeTO Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Hi, I believe this issue is fixed in the current customer beta 2.1.0.1709 so it should be fixed in the next retail release, too.
