Publisher Returns to First Page in Pages After Edit Document


Recommended Posts

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.

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?

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).
