SilverSurfer1221 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Hello. I am working in Publisher putting together a set of cards for a strategy card game. This means that each card, front and back, is different and there are currently 216 cards (counting both fronts and backs) in this deck. I've received some changes and am happy to see that I can make the changes directly in Publisher. Fantastic. However, there is an issue. After I exit from Edit Document I find that my Pages column (left hand side) is back to Page 1. Since I will be editing a lot of these cards throughout the deck (each card face on it's own page), having to scroll back down to where I had left off each time I edit a document is kind of a pain. So, is this normal behavior? Is there a way to keep this from happening? Or is there a way to get the Pages column to move to the current page I am working on in the main view when this occurs? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Is it just the view in the Pages panel that moves, or the actual current page? What does the page navigator on the lower left of the window (next to the status bar) say?

SilverSurfer1221 Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 As stated, it is the Pages column (Pages panel on the left side of Publisher) that moves so that the first page is being viewed there. However, the correct page is selected, so the page navigator at the bottom (below the Pages panel) states the correct page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Good. First, I don't know if that scrolling is considered correct behavior, but I see the same thing happening. But your easiest recovery, rather than scrolling, would be to click the "next spread" icon in the page navigator. Or use Document > Next Page from the menu (default shortcut, on Windows, is Ctrl+PageDown).

SilverSurfer1221 Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Yep. That's what I've been doing. Even so, whatever the intended behavior is, I'd like the pages panel to reflect the page I am on unless I am the one to have scrolled it. It's a minor thing, but a somewhat annoying thing. Thanks for checking this, though. I do appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
