Andredu Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I modified the margins and reflowed the text and the hyphenation is all wrong, but it was wrong even before reflowing but now more so. At the end of the second line it should be "économi- " not "écono-" , etc. Hyphenation is all wrong throughout this page and yes I read everything that Publisher has to say about the subject. I also mostly work by intuition and obviously functions in Publisher are mostly not intuitive. Thanks 8X10_13pts Arial-FR.afpub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrettm30 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 The text in that file has hyphens and line breaks hard coded (by that I mean actually typed as text). In the screenshot below, I made this apparent by reducing the width of the text frame and observing how the text reflowed. On the first line as visible in the screenshot, the hyphen after écono is a soft hyphen, added by Publisher's hyphenation. The hyphen and the line break on the second line (after "mi") are actually typed into the text, and they will appear no matter where the text flows. I don't know where they came from (perhaps you copied from a PDF or other source where hyphens or line breaks were already applied), but you can just delete the extra hyphens and line breaks.

mac_heibu Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 To illustrate, what @garrettm30 said with one more screenshot. This has nothing to do with „intuitive“ or not. This is simply a completely mis-formatted text. Import it into Word or any other application and you will see the same behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andredu Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Thanks Mac and Garett, you are right, that was an Illustrator file that I pasted, I thought that Publisher would reflow the text like Illustrator does. Mac, how did you get to see those cr lf to show ? In Pages it's simply "Show Invisible". Publisher needs a user manual, is there one in the making ?

mac_heibu Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 In this case, you don‘t need a manual. Just look into the menus (menu „Text/Show Special Characters“)! And this text doesn‘t reflow in Illustrator as well! It can‘t. It can‘t reflow in any application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
