It's probable that you'll see several discrepancies between the original DOCX file and the new PUB file. (This will surely be needed if you had to change the page layout of the PUB file as described in the 4th step.)Ħ- Now check the formatting of your text. But it's not straight-forward,Īnd requires some several annoying steps:ġ- First of all, you must finish your document in Word, with all the content, layout, styles and formatting.Ģ- Close your DOCX file in Word and open it in Publisher the document will be converted to a PUB file - including the false small caps to true small caps.ģ- Reopen your DOCX file in Word and compare it side by side with the new converted PUB file in Publisher.Ĥ- Adjust the size, orientation and margins of the pages of the PUB file to match exactly the corresponding ones of the original DOCX file, if they were not the same (Publisher doesn't do this automatically).ĥ- If necessary, resize the text boxes, tables, images and other objects in the PUB file to match the original layout of the DOCX file.
#APPLY SMALL CAPS IN WORD 2013 PROFESSIONAL#
Professional typesetters should be allowed to use with typesetting programs like Publisher, whereas ordinary folk with Word shouldn't? Or is it trick to boost sales of Puiblisher? Or did no-one think about it? What is it? Because it's very annoying!Ĭurrently, there's only one way to get true small caps in a document made with Office: it's to compose the document in Word, with "false" small caps, and import it to Publisher, that convert them in true small caps. Why? Are small caps held to be something that only & so 4th) are supported in Word 2013, are small caps not? I just don't understand it. So, why, Microsoft, why, oh why, oh why, when other typographical features (ligatures, stylistic sets, etc. Type something like "AaMmXx" in an OpenType font with small caps, say, Calibri or Gabriola, at, say, 24pt, in Word 2013 and in Publisher 2013, and apply small caps in each, and print them. Width of upper case, lower case and small caps letters match, whereas in the cheapy, flimsy, yucky version that Office only offers, the small caps letters are thinner than the normal letters of that font - obviously so, as they are merely shrunken. What's the difference? The difference is that with true small caps, the stroke Yes, it has a small caps function, but this just reduces the size of the font, instead of using the dedicated small caps letters included in a lot of OpenType fonts. Whilst Word 2013 supports OpenType ligatures and OpenType stylistic sets and OpenType old-style numbers and and and, it STILL DOES NOT SUPPORT I had hoped that between the two versions, the issue of missing true small caps in Word had been addressed. I have just un-installed the Office 2013 Preview, and installed the Office 2013 RTM 60-day trial.
