Intuos5 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 If I search for "find this text" with the opening and closing quotation marks, the cross reference search does not find any paragraphs associated with them. 2024-03-10 16-49-54.mp4 Nor does it find the text without the quotation marks. 2024-03-10 16-52-52.mp4 The current workaround is to add other text in front and to delete it thereafter. Should be simple enough to reproduce, you can copy the "find this text" line from the forums to test with. It is in Affinity Publisher 2.4.0, Windows 10.

walt.farrell Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Your .afpub file does not contain the text "find this text", though it does contain ”find this quote” (with the word quote rather than text, and with curly (typographic) quotes rather than straight quotes.

E: Could be that the search field interprets quotation marks differently (i.e. doesn't change them to curly open/ close). In Publisher Settings, Auto-Correct, you can choose "Change straight quotes to typographic quotes". If you do that, then when you type ' or " using the Artistic Text Tool or the Frame Text Tool you will get a typographic quote. This only applies when typing, and only when typing into one of those text objects. It does not apply when you type a ' or " into the Find or Replace field (Find and Replace) nor into the search field (Insert Cross-Reference). There, if you want a typographic quote you must figure out how to type it directly, or you must use copy/paste to add it.
