glennireland Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 When Publisher for Desktop warns of a text overflow during an export, is it possible for the software to identify which box(s) is causing the error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 It does that by highlighting the relevant boxes with red dots, assuming you have View > Show Text Flow enabled. I agree that it could be more convenient to show a list of some kind, but given that in a large document there could potentially be dozens, or hundreds, of frames to fix, that could be difficult. It also tells you, of course, when you're editing the text and frames, and that's the best time to fix it Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

List sounds like text. – Instead a visual overview: Why not having that red dot at the Pages Panel icons, too? One for each affected page would be enough to make you check that page.

glennireland Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Walt, Thanks for your response. Someone else pointed out the View > Show Text Flow option for me which I hadn't realised needed to be selected. In my case it didn't help that the overflowing text was actually on a Master Page that I had altered for this document only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
