CartoonMike Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 I've tried this on several docs both old and newly created in the most recent beta version (312). And here's what I did in the new docs: create new document. paste in some text in a text object. double-click on a word to highlight it. Right-click on the word and choose the "look up '[word]'" menu item (where [word] is the word that's highlighted.) IF you're on the first page of your document, then this will work. IF you're on the second (or later) page, this kitty won't purr I don't know if this has anything to do with a second monitor (which I use and have the navigation and textural palettes on, btw). But I do think this is a urgent bug to attend to, as most documents will start off with a cover or something. I wouldn't have noticed this if it wasn't for the other look up bug report; as I usually write my prose in a word processor and then copy-paste the script into a text object. so it's already been proofread by the app (Pages) and the spousal unit (Janet) and nothing gets flagged once in Publisher. Anyway, I don't see the need to attach files or anything like that, I copied the text from a plain old TXT file and rendered it in Publisher in Courier. Anything I can supply, just let me know and I'll try to provide 'em as soon as I am able.

I mean, how else can I make sure the death-traps work?
Staff Jon P Posted May 20, 2019 Staff Posted May 20, 2019 From what I've seen this seems to be more related to how much of the pasteboard is visible, it seems to work on other pages for me but I have to zoom out. If any page is completely in view it doesn't seem to work. I've logged this, thanks for reporting it. Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com

CartoonMike Posted May 31, 2019 Author Posted May 31, 2019 Just tested it out on the same pesky document and the lookup word works on the 4 interior pages I checked and on the title (first) page. So thanks so much, I'd consider this issue "solved" I've used Pagemaker (back in the day) and a number of other Desktop publisher apps and Publisher is the best I've used. Affinity took the science of desktop publishing and put it into this app so all I have to worry about is the art of design. Thanks, again!
