GarryP Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Windows 10 Home 1809, Publisher 1.7.0.249. Have a look at the attached GIF where: * I create a new document - custom-sized at 2x3 inches (purely for demonstration purposes); * Page Preset says "Custom", as expected; * I close that document; * I go to create a new document; * Page Preset now says "A4" but the size is still 2x3 inches; * I re-select A4 from the Page Presets but the size is still 2x3 inches; * I select a different Document Units but the size is still the equivalent of 2x3 inches; * To get what I want, I have to select a different Page Preset, then select the Page Preset that I actually want, and then re-select the Document Units that I want. I don't think this is working the way it should be. If the Page Preset says A4 then I should be able to assume that the page size is whatever A4 is in whatever the Units is set to. I shouldn't need to check that the Width and Height are correct for the preset. (This would be especially difficult to spot if the page size was close to - but not exactly the same as - the preset size.) In other words, if the page size is not exactly equivalent to an existing preset then the preset should be "Custom". I only found this issue after I thought the Zoom function wasn't working when I zoomed a recently-made - apparently A4-sized - document to 100% and found it was way smaller than it should be. (A 2x3 inches document zoomed-to-fit looks exactly the same on-screen as a 8x12 inches document zoomed-to-fit.) When I created the document I noticed that the Preset said A4 - so I assumed that was correct - but the page size was actually 5.8x7.9 inches (from a previous document). This isn't a huge problem while the software is still in beta - we're not supposed to be creating "real" document with it - but I would say it could be a really big issue if someone creates a magazine or a book only to find out, at the very end, that they've done it all on wrongly-sized pages. (Imagine creating a 100-page magazine and only finding out at the print shop that you've used a 230mm page width instead of the 210mm you needed.)
Staff Sean P Posted February 27, 2019 Staff Posted February 27, 2019 Hi GarryP, Thanks for letting us know - this is indeed a known issue that is with development to be resolved. I'll get it bumped with your report.
