Old Bruce Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 What am I missing? How do I turn off the invisible characters?

kazrbutler Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I did this myself earlier. Can't check on my computer right now for exact wording, but look in the text menu for something along the lines of Special Characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 It is there in Publisher but not in Designer.

kazrbutler Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hopefully, someone else will know. I can't access my computer right now, and haven't used the feature in Designer. I can't see anything obvious in the Workbook either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 How did you get them to show, Bruce? They don't for me, on Windows. Does this always happen, or is it in one particular document? Have you tried stopping/restarting Designer, or rebooting?

Mark Oehlschlager Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Seems to be yet another commonly used text setting function that should be present in Designer as well as Publisher. (The others being linked frames and baseline grids.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They showed up one day, I don't recall when and they have been there ever since. Always and reboot restart reset still there.

Staff stokerg Posted June 27, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hi Old Bruce, I can get this to happen, if i create a .afpub file with special characters enabled and then open that in Designer. Does this happen when you start a new document as well? Just for me, it only affects the document that started life off in Publisher.

AlainP Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 If I open the above file in Designer all subsequent Artistic text boxes I create display those special characters. It's like if a not displayed option was turned on, with no way to turn it off. If I create a new document Artistic text works fine, no special character. I then open the file, special characters are displayed. But if I copy and paste it in my first document special characters are not shown. The only way to enable thoses characters is to create it in Publisher. I can't see no other way.... so far....

You certainly are Bruce I think this is to do with those sticky settings with new Text in Publisher, they have somehow attached to Designer. I don't know about you but I wish we had the option to disable them. Sticky settings can be very useful but I find the text ones annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
