Jon Davies Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Hi, I'm using Publisher 2 on two computers and I'm finding on some documents when I create on one PC then open later on the other that the text has moved vertically within the text box. I've checked baseline positioning in the character panel on both PCs and both are set to 0 - although I can correct for the issue by changing this value. Is there anything else that could be causing this? Thanks.
Staff NathanC Posted August 31, 2023 Staff Posted August 31, 2023 Hi @Jon Davies, Could you perhaps provide a screenshot showing the text frame's vertical position changing on the two different devices for comparison? Although unlikely, could it be a missing font on one of the devices? If you could also provide the document in question (or a small sample from it) that would also help.

Will do, thanks Nathan - the two PCs are on different sites so may be a while.

Hi @NathanC two screengrabs attached and the file in question, although the difference is visible on all files. Font is Huntress, installed on both. You'll see that the text sits higher in the text box on the laptop compared to the pc. Thanks for your help. advert-images-a.afpub

kenmcd Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 Cannot see in the screenshot, but the one that is low looks like Vertical Alignment is set to Center Vertically, rather than Top Align. Are these both on the same operating system? Because the vertical metrics are different in that font depending on the OS.

Yes, it does look like vertical alignment, but they are both set the same - attached the one that looks central showing top alignment. Both computers are running latest version of Windows 11. Thanks.

Yes, same file and same settings but the text is in a different position on different PCs. When I say "they are both set the same" I was referring to the VA on the two PCs both being set to top.

No special character in front of "Mucky". Thanks

I have 100% and no offset - 99 vs 100 so it looks like some kind of display/rounding problem.
