shape moves to previous page on print
Posted: 2013-11-19 18:57:46
Hi,
The following bug is happening in 2.0.5, in a long document (200,000 words):
1. I have a shape (simple rectangle) overtop of some words. Let's call the page with the Box "B".
2. I choose Print for two pages, the previous page and that page (Let's say A & B, with the box on page B).
3. The box prints on the wrong page, A, at the correct location on the page . I.e., it prints on page A, instead of B, although at the right place on the page.
4. When I return to Nisus, the box has in fact jumped to page A (still linked to its paragraph on page B).
The box has "moves with paragraph" selected.
I've discovered that the same thing is happening with another complex shape a hundred pages away.
In Summary: apparently the page numbering of the shapes relative to the page numbering of the text gets out of whack by one page when I try to print, and stays that way.
I believe I've printed these pages before, and this wasn't happening; that was probably months ago though.
I've quit and re-opened the program, still does it.
Any ideas?
I'll also try restarting the Mac while waiting for your answer. If that helps I'll post here.
LATER:
--Reboot doesn't help, still happens.
--cutting out the shape and repasting didn't help.
--changing shape to 'Position on page' didn't help.
--BUT, then cutting shape from 'Position on page' form and re-pasting, it seems to be fixed and prints.
--BUT only that one; the earlier shape, a hundred pages or so away, still prints off by a page, even when I try that protocol of changing and repasting. So it's not fixed.
Note also that when I change to 'Position on page', before cutting it out, it changes to being off by TWO pages -- in the first shape it was two pages later, in the second shape it was two pages early.
I don't have time to pursue this immediately, but later may try cutting document down to just a handful of pages and see if it still happens.
Very annoying at this stage.
Any help appreciated.
