Egged Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I just installed A Pub 1.7.0.139 and began work on a large document almost finished. I added new pages, added photographs, and linked text to a new page. The text on the page it was linked from was fine, but the text on the next page was flopped and read backwards. I scrubbed the text of formatting, no luck. I reflowed the text completely, no luck. I finally deleted the offending page, created a new one and the problem was solved. Next, I tried to move a caption nearer its picture only to have the text flop backwards. I went through the same rigamarole and wound up deleting the pic and caption box and redrawing and reinserting both pic and text to solve the prob. I'm not the sharpest knife on the team, more like a dull axe, so forgive me if I made rookie mistakes, but this one has me flummoxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am more like a crowbar. I managed to recreate your problem I will include a screen shot. But my machine is very slow right now.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Well I have the picture but I can't load it for some reason, I will explain what I did. As you did I made a text frame and populated it with text then I made a second Text Frame and resized it using the bottom handle in the middle. Essentially I turned it upside down and the text flowed in fine but upside down. I also managed to resize from the side and get it to flow in as a mirror image (like Leonardo Da Vinci).

Egged Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hmm, So that's it! I must've done the same thing. Don't know HOW I did it, but it's repeatable. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted October 5, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 5, 2018 Objects can be flipped/flopped if you resize them, but drag the bottom right, past the top left - essentially inverting them. This is not a bug, just the way objects are designed to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egged Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 I learn something new everyday. I didn't realize I had created the box that way. I'd better slow down. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Create the box any way/direction you want, resize/move with care and caution.
