Anyway, I used up nearly all of my guesses when playing the official NYT version of the game this morning
So did I, but got it on number six, in a state of confusion!
I start with a different word each day, often picked at random from what I am reading.
I've never noticed Wordlebot. I'll have to try it some time.
This is the second time I've managed this. Should I buy a lottery ticket?:)
Hi Sandy,
Try Tools/Resource Manager/Fonts. This will show the unsupported items, and the Locate button will find them for you.
You may find that those characters are just not supported by the font you are using. Depending of course on what they are, you may be able to solve the problem by changing the font, if not for the whole text, just for those particular characters.

Leander's latest. beautifully played on his new piano.

Following your second link, I noticed Albert stating:
I must have been away when they did ‘factorial’ functions at school
That reminds me that I was absent when The maths class covered how to calculate square roots. Several years later I passed maths at A2 level, but I still can't calculate square roots!
Ang there's Jiminy Cricket's version.
A crown was five shillings
Yes, but there was no crown coin in normal circulation, so a sum of 5 shillings was generally referred to as that, or as "two half crowns", not "one crown". Also two shillings was one florin, and often referred to as that. Prior to coins bearing the head of George VI, the two shilling value coin was marked "One Florin". It was also not uncommon for the sum of "one and six" to be referred to as "eighteen pence".
Crown coins were legal tender, but they were only issued to commemorate special events so were not in general circulation. Probably the most familiar one is the Churchill Crown, which is the only British coin ever to bear the head of anyone other than the reigning monarch.
To elucidate, or perhaps confuse, further, one shilling became five (new) pence.
I had completely forgotten about the Imperial ream
Looking up "ream" in my Chambers dictionary, I see there is also a "printer's ream", which is 516 sheets. Would this be for a reason much the same as 13 being a "baker's dozen"?
https://www.sizes.com/units/ream.htm provides this information:
ream
A quantity of paper, 20 quires. Abbreviation, rm. Well into the 20th century a ream of writing paper contained 480 sheets and a ream of printing paper was 500 sheets, while suppliers of printers and publishers used a ream of 516 sheets. Today the standard ream of all types of paper is 500 sheets.One sometimes sees it stated that 1 printer’s ream = 21½ quires.¹ If so, these are ordinary 24-sheet quires, not printer’s quires of 25 sheets.
Chambers also states that in your part of the world, "ream" also means cream or froth, derived from Old English, as opposed to the usual meaning, which is derived from Arabic. Is ream still used that way in Scotland?
A ream of any type of paper is 500 sheets
I had an aunt in the paper trade, and to her a ream was 480 sheets. Apparently it has now become 500 sheets, having grown toward the end of last century. I blame the EU!
Whilst "reams" can be a vague term of quantity, eg "William has created reams of threads in this forum", there is nothing vague about a "ream of paper". It is internationally accepted nowadays as 500 sheets precisely.
I don't know the population of Skegness.
Leander has a new piano!

None of those photographs are visible here. ATV.com is all about, believe it or not, ATVs and their equipment. (ATV means All-terrain Vehicle)
Prominent Historical Figures Who Lived Long Enough to Have Their Photo Taken
I know there are minimum ages specified in law for consuming alcohol, smoking, getting married, leaving school, becoming POTUS, etc, but I've never known of one about being photographed.
You also said
it's not possible to hide or lock single objects within that single layer
Whilst it's true you cannot hide single objects, you can lock them using Arrange/Lock Object.
There is no way you can alter the way PDFs are opened in PagePlus. That is determined when the PDF is created
Is there any way of putting all the items into separate layers
Hi Mick, welcome to the forum.
I can think of two ways.
1. Create your new layers on the Layers tab and drag the items to be relocated onto the paste board. Then change to the new layer you want them on, and drag the item onto the page from the paste board.
2. Create your new layers. Select an item to be relocated, and Cut (Ctrl+X). Change to the appropriate new layer and Paste in Place (Ctrl+Alt+V)
The second method keeps the objects in their correct positions.

But is the ban just the EU, so no longer applies for the UK?
Does the latest US/UK trade deal allow these products to be imported to UK?
And what is your conclusion?
I assume you are wanting several copies of this one image on a single sheet, not fill a page with a single image. Where is this imposition you are taking it to? Why don't you use Edit/Replicate?
What about it?
I do not see those problems. Text frames, shaped text frames, and quick shapes can be positioned over or under each other in any order, whether touching or not.
You say you are not using layers, but you are! Only one layer perhaps, but if you check the Layers tab you will see a list of all the objects on it. They are listed in the order front to back, and may be reordered by dragging them in the Layers tab.
You cannot change a shaped frame back to a quick shape, but you can convert it to a graphic.
I'm not sure what you mean by "boxes" and "text boxes". I guess the latter are text frames, but what are the other boxes? Graphics?
How about a sample file that illustrates this problem?
Do you have layers and/or objects locked?
Leander showing us his other talent - juggling, with 5 balls!
Not to mention Minuet in G, Op. 14/1 - Ignacy Jan Paderewski https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KDGxHzGYvk
There is another young piano genius at https://www.youtube.com/@muradspiano5422 who plays classics brilliantly, and perhaps with greater refinement than Leander. But he doesn't exude the same pure joy of playing and versatility as Leander.
Leander now has well over 100 videos on his site https://www.youtube.com/@Leander-piano and adds a new one every few days. It is intriguing to watch his progress.
Format/Paragraph gives you the option of setting the spacing between paragraphs, either 'before' and/or 'after'.
