SamSteele Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Win 7, Publisher 1.7.0.277 I find placing guides via the guide manager impossible on a double-page spread because the guideline measurements do not relate to the zero marks on the rulers if the zeros have been offset from the top left-hand corner. This really bad when placing vertical guides relative to the vertical centre line in the middle of a two-page spread. A guide supposed to be +5" to the right of the centre line actually ends up 5" from the left-hand side of the left page, even though the x-zero mark on the ruler is in the dead centre of the double-page spread. In other words, it ends up -3.5" (i.e. to the left) from the centre line. Zeros.docx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhikkhu Pesala Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I can confirm the problem when placing guides, even on a single page spread when the guides origin has been moved.

Please, get yourself a copy of FastStone Capture (version 5.3 freeware is adequate). Quite right. I did a print screen for this (I usually snip images) and didn't have another way of saving it—now I do. Anyway, glad to know you can replicate the bug. • It would be nice if centering the X-zero for a double page spread wasn't so tortuous and would hold for all added pages. • Keep the current manual offset feature as well. • Also, the Y-zero gets mired at the top of page 1 for some reason on a multi-page spread. Publisher is a great program but I think the rulers, zeros and Guide Manager feature needs a complete rethink. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
