Thanks for the file and crash report. Did you create the file from scratch in publisher version 1.7.1 ?

Thank you for reply.

No, first time I create the file was in Publisher early beta. However, I edited and saved this file many times after updating to Publisher 1.7.1.

I tried to copy the page to a scratch file in order to rescue contents, but Publisher crash with the same error.

I'm having the same problem when saving a particular document - this was started from scratch using the final release version of Publisher, i.e. not the Beta.

Crashes every time attempting to save or save-as.

What I'm attempting to do is adjust a pinned item (floating image box), and also use the decoration panel so set a horizontal rule before paragraphs.

I've attached the crash log if it is of any help!

I can start a new document from scratch, put something in it, and successfully save it, so the problem seems to be in the one mentioned above.

There has been an issue with unpinning objects which have been detached from a master object. Unfortunately this corrupts the document. We believe this is fixed in the beta version. You would have to recreate the file in the beta version and that should work. If that still crashes we would definitely like to know.

Thank you Pauls! I really appreciate your effort!

I'm now using beta version and now I have now no trouble.

Thank you again for rescuing my file!
