SteveP110 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Can we have an option to single click to select a page rather than double click, no matter how much I try I cannot get my head around single click gives me a blue border but the actual page I am working on / add text to could be 10 pages away. In my work, I swap pages often and just want to click on a page for it to have editing focus. To put it strongly this is becoming my most hated feature of Publisher, ignoring growing pains all the other features I either love or can get used to, but this one sorry but no.

You can scroll through the pages by the forward/backward buttons You can scroll through the pages with the wheelmouse while hovering over the page number You can click in the page number and manualy select the page you want to go to. Nevertheless, a reverse colouring would be more logical and intuitive: Dominant Color -> Edit Page Non-dominant color -> Select page/-s Steps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't seem to find any place where the page number is displayed that responds to the wheel on my mouse.

So I think it is obvious we need some better way of distinguishing selected from current pages!

Does it possibly work if you click into the field beforehand? I can then both enter a page number and scroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can click, enter a page number, press return, & jump to that page, but that is all. When I click into the field, the current page number disappears, & scrolling still does not work, just toggles between the first & last page of the document.. Also, after clicking & jumping to a page, nothing shows in the number field -- not the original page number or the new one I have jumped to.

Steps Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 @R C-R I guess it's time to open a bug report in the Mac sub-forum for this. It's working under Windows 10 as expected.
