Marathon1908 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I have just started using Publisher 2.2 for a new book written in Word - I was one of those desperate for the footnote/endnote facility to arrive. I've worked out the page 2 workaround, but a search hasn't thrown up this one - forgive me if I've missed it. It's in 2 parts. Firstly, None of the hyperlinks in my endnotes are displayed -- and there are a lot of them, indicating my on-line sources Secondly, in a couple of cases (out of 105) the hyperlink is added to the endnote reference number in the min text. The reference number is in the list of links but with no text. See screen-print. The full text of the corrupted note here is "Historical Manuscripts Commission, 'The corporation of Hastings', in The Manuscripts of Rye and Hereford Corporations, Etc. Thirteenth Report, Appendix: Part IV (London, 1892), pp. 354-364. British History Online http://www.british-history.ac.uk/hist-mss-comm/vol31/pt4/pp354-364 [accessed 3 April 2022]." Publisher has put '9' on the end of the link in this, and left out the other text. I'm using a Mac OS Ventura 13.5.1. The Word document was created in Office 365 for Mac (latest update), and it was pasted into publisher. I have other issues, but it may be because I'm new to the program. If I get really stuck I'll post separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Can you create a sample .afpub document that demonstrates the problem for us to examine?

I see the hyperlink in the panel and when I export a PDF. Where else should it be displayed? If you're not seeing it in a PDF then ensure the include hyperlinks in export is selected. 1 hour ago, Marathon1908 said: Secondly, in a couple of cases (out of 105) the hyperlink is added to the endnote reference number in the min text. The reference number is in the list of links but with no text. Always work with Text > Highlight Fields on when using notes. You inserted the hyperlink text by accident before the note reference, that URL is not part of the reference, it's just text. You'll see in this screenshot that only the note reference is part of the field, the rest was just inserted before it and picked up its formatting. Also always work with Text > Notes > Show Note Marks on when using notes. I know this was just a test but you typed text outside of the endnote brackets and bad things happen if you do that.

Marathon1908 Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 Mike, I'm sorry If I have not made the problem clear enough. Firstly in my Word source I have numerous references that include hyperlinks. In most of those endnotes the World text is shown in the endnote but not the hyperlink. A couple of times the hyperlink text is taken out of the full text of the endnote and placed next to the note number. I did not type it there. Publisher put it there. I did not type the words in the test document "This note was created in Publisher" Publisher put them there. Selecting Highlight Fields has made no difference, sad to say. The issues are still there when I export to pdf Has anyone else had this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the problem is due to a bad import from Word, could you share a Word document that exhibits the problem? We wouldn't need the complete Word document, just save a document with the one sentence that has a hyperlink that imports incorrectly. 3 hours ago, Marathon1908 said: I did not type the words in the test document "This note was created in Publisher" Publisher put them there. Publisher created that sentence on its own? 3 hours ago, Marathon1908 said: Selecting Highlight Fields has made no difference, sad to say. It won't make a difference but it helps keep straight what's a note reference and what's plain text.

Marathon1908 Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 Further to the above I have now tried placing a Word document with endnotes. The good news is that it leaves the hyperlink text in the end note. But there is bad news. Firstly it converts the link to standard text [ is this because print mode is set by default?]. Secondly it puts the endnote text into superscript, the same as the numeral. Eventually, after a lot of trial and error I managed to set a "regular" font, but the problem then is that it also changes the numbers from superscript. I can live with this, but is there a way to have superscript numbers in the endnote listing as well as at the insertion point? There is another problem with placing a document that I shall raise as a separate query. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Notes panel lets you set the characteristics of the reference number and its text in the End Notes section. There are settings there for whether the reference number is superscript or not, and also for a Character Text Style to use for the number. If you don't use that, then the reference number in the End Note will have the same styling as the first character of the Endnote text, by default. If you want them to be different, you need to create a Character Text Style for the reference number, and specify that in the Notes panel.

Marathon1908 Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 Walt I've managed to sort out the font settings, thank you. I guess I'm going to have to set it all up in a Master, otherwise I'll drive myself mad having to manually change every chapter Placed. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
