Jdbradbury Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Managing the text in Publisher is EXTREMELY janky. Once the initial text is set, when resizing an adjacent image or shape, the wrapping goes haywire, with line spacing cramps and the tracking goes to hell. The initial tool to space lines, Leading Override, is clumsy and unsophisticated. I really can't figure out the glitchy logic between the spacing jumps. The photo shows the adjusted text once I inserted the photo and wrapped the text. I'm hoping I'm missing something here. If I am it's not obvious.
Dan C Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Hi Jdbradbury It looks like you have your text justified, but without your document I'm not too certain. Could you please upload a copy of you Publisher file for me to investigate? Thanks in advance!
Old Bruce Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Try turning on hyphenation, it helps when using justified text.

Just in case you did not know, Leading Override is not the attribute normally used to control line spacing (leading). Leading is a paragraph attribute (so it can be set in either the Paragraph Studio panel or from the context toolbar). Leading Override overrides the paragraph leading attribute for selected characters, words, or phrases on a line by line basis, so it can be set in the Character Studio panel.

I'd prefer to keep the text justified as it looks cleaner with the square wrapped text. Once I've initially set a text and then come back to edit, every time without fail the line spacing is off. Is there not a simple line spacing options where the text can be highlighted and then adjusted? Thanks Dan C.

Could you please try uploading the file(s) to the following link? many thanks! https://www.dropbox.com/request/r13crbk3aw33BwTmAbhM I believe I figured it out. If while using the "Leading override" under the Character view, and then try to adjust the "Paragraph Leading" under the Paragraph Viw, some wonky things can happen, particularly while the text is justified. It seems the overlap and redundancy is an issue there, and some other places regarding the coloring options of shapes v. text. But maybe just me. I'm having another issue trying to separate my pages from a two-page view to one-page in order to print each side starting on a right side with facing pages. I'll upload the larger file size to the dropbox you've posted there. I appreciate the help. J

The settings in the Paragraph Panel will not be able to change the settings for the text that you overridden in the Character panel. Unless you have a reason or need for some parts of a paragraph to have different leading, you should probably just use paragraph leading, and not "override leading" from the Character panel -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop 1: Windows 11 Pro 24H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.
