Publisher: SVG images - scaling

[MCBPub]

I use quite a lot of svg images in my books, mainly maps and other diagrams. I used to find that when I re-opened a Publisher file, these could appear giant-sized and always required re-scaling. Since I upgraded to Beta 1730 they now appear greatly reduced in size. In addition, text wrapping settings have often been lost and cannot always be edited successfully, requiring pages to be completely rebuilt - usually by deleting the existing page and inserting a new one, which in itself can cause horrific reformatting issues. Impact can be anywhere from a simple image resize to a full page rebuild from scratch, sometimes with impacts to other nearby pages. Text can disappear and be difficult to find, too...

With one diagram I always lose the text on that page on opening the file. If I then move the diagram around the text often, but not always, magically comes back. The image then requires careful repositioning to balance the page.

Windows 10, desktop. I use a book file, comprising multiple chapter files.

Thanks for getting back to me. I have upgraded to build 1732 and after a bit of manual resizing, the problem appears to have settled down for now with images remaining at the scaling I have set for them. However I have attached a file just in case (Derby Canal, svg files used for the map and the Derby Arm diagram). Unfortunately I now have an issue with TOCs (Preamble file). I cannot update or delete the one in my latest book, so for the moment am unable to proceed with them. TOCs were generally working OK (85% ish) before, but seem to have stopped altogether now. App hangs, file save stops. Have tried reloading the file, exiting the app and restarting and rebooting my desktop (Win 10) computer. Thanks. Mark Baker. See your Dropbox for the files.

PS My 2 latest files, 35 ECiC Derby Canal and 40 ECiC Nutbrook Canal are showing as "out of date." Synchronise does nothing to change this and the app hangs then crashes on exit.

PPS The above did seem to sort itself out and eventually all files synchronised. Unfortunately I have another issue. My current book is almost complete and I was working Saturday on an appendix, file ECiC 45 Appendix A.afpub (uploaded). The software will not allow me to edit anything. I have done all the rebooting, etc. Once or twice it looked like it was letting me in, but as soon as I tried to make some changes, it locked me out again - there was an onscreen message about the object I wanted to edit being locked, but I was unable to unlock it and appeared to be frozen out. Very frustrating as I am almost finished! I suspect it is Books that is playing up. Thanks.

Added Synchronise issue, within Books. Appendix cannot edit, chapters now appear to be synchronising.

Please try it with build 1736. There were some issue with chapters being locked in 1732.
