E9B6 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 An alternative to using pdf files, which can be problematical, is to go into write plus - select all, and then paste into a new text box in Publisher. OK you have to do it separately for each text box, but you get so much more control, and do not have to correct the errors in the pdf import Just a suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or rather, select all, copy and then paste. Nevertheless a very helpful suggestion, given that it doesn’t seem likely that we’re going to have the ability to import native WritePlus *.stt files.

E9B6 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 I decided to use an existing single page document created in page plus with logo, text frames, and display text. I converted to pdf and imported it. Boy what a mess! Several text boxes were converted to curves, so instead of one paragraph there were tens of curves. It has been stated that this is the best option to import page plus documents. RUBBISH! It was quicker to create matching text boxes etc, then copy and paste the actual text. It took a long time but less than trying to clear the mess created by importing a pdf file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulEC Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 It must be said that (especially as Publisher doesn't support embedded fonts) PDF import is pretty poor!
