mmchocolate Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (Before anyone asks, you currently cannot add dotted lines within a table in Publisher V2, only in V1) In InDesign, I can get the spacing of the dots to be even. There is no overlap or shift. In V1, the dots in the center that intersect overlap. (I also can't seem to make the dash panel's second box anything smaller than 0.05) How can I get the dots to behave more like they do in InDesign? I want them to be evenly spaced.

Hangman Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Hi @mmchocolate, It's not currently possible in v2... and there is also a bug in v2.1 preventing the application of dotted/dashed lines to tables cells, currently, in v2.1 only the table frame itself can have dashed/dotted lines applied...

In V1, the dots in the center that intersect overlap. V1 does not have the newly added balancing function that V2 has. And as mentioned, that function does not work for Tables even in V2. So I'm afraid there's no way you can do what you want using Publisher.

mmchocolate Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 @Hangman right, which is why the title of this thread specifically asks for how to do this in V1.... @walt.farrell Thank you. This is a shame. What a waste of time and money learning this app... walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that will teach me to read the title of the thread more closely... , but as @walt.farrell says, it's not possible in V1...
