Publish a document

The ultimate goal of authoring your documents in Microsoft Word with Typefi Writer is publishing professional-quality output. You can publish the entire document, the current selection, or a custom selection.

Before you publish, make sure your document is attached to a Typefi workflow.

Publish the entire document

To publish the entire document:

1. With a document open, click Publish on the Typefi tab.
2. In the Typefi Publish dialog, select All sections.
3. Click Publish.

Publish the current selection

When you publish the current Selection, Typefi Writer copies over any additional required markup (for example, the parent Typefi Section markup, any referenced Elements, or any missing start or end tags for Elements, conditions, hyperlinks, metadata, or table of contents).

To publish the current selection:

1. With a document open, click Publish on the Typefi tab.
2. In the Typefi Publish dialog, select Current selection.
3. Click Publish.

Publish a custom selection

When you publish a subset of your Sections, Typefi Writer creates a new temporary document. This temporary document contains only your selected content while leaving your original file intact and unchanged.

To publish a custom selection:

1. With a document open, click Publish on the Typefi tab.
2. In the Typefi Publish dialog, select Custom.
3. Choose the selection of sections you would like to publish.
4. Click Publish.

Select Preflight to validate your document using the attached workflow to identify any errors in its structure or markup that may cause unexpected output.

Known issues

• When publishing a custom selection, only the last Section is published. We apologise for the inconvenience. This issue will be addressed in a future version of Typefi Writer.
• If your workflow uses InDesign Server 2020 or 2021, you cannot insert a video Element in a Typefi Writer document and publish it. If you try to publish a document with a video Element, you get this error message: Error: Request failed because the underlying functionality is no longer available in the current version of the application. This error occurs because Adobe now blocks Flash content from running. There is no workaround at this time.
