Hi Mithferion for your reply - and your interest. I have now checked the 'Preview Mode" but everything on the Context Tool Bar is just two tones of grey - as is almost everything on the Menu Bar. So I have put together my understanding of what is happening and sent it off to the Beta Forum. Again, thanks for your help.

Hi Matt! I'm Geoff Hopson from Qld Aus. A million thank-yous for Affinity. I've been using Adobe since the 1980s ending with CS4. When I bought a new iMac last May, CS4 did not 'fit!' I am retired for some years and my budget and the charity I an helping as a volunteer baulked at the $80 a month to hire their product. A graphic artist suggested I search for Affinity. I could not believe what I was discovering. It was like stumbling through a desert and falling into a bubbling water supply. Needless to say, I can't stop talking about Affinity. I have a problem. I was working today with Affinity Publisher and Normal Mode just disappeared off my screen. The project page I was still there. I replaced the tool box and a banner across the top. That's all! I downloaded the program again, but no change. Maybe I accidentally pressed a key which caused the event. I don't know. I can't find any panels. I'm stuck! I am a bit overwhelmed in coming to terms with the complexity of the program; but I would really appreciate help. I am sending this to you as it seemed the easiest doorway to get for the help I need. Thanks heaps. Geoff H.
