Yes, it was the tab, and I think you are correct about the reset fixing. Strange thing also is I wondered how the files before the reinstall would function, so I tried to open them and they crashed the app when trying to open. At least one of them did open when APublisher restored. Anyway, sharing these things in case might help. I think I am clear of this particular hurdle now. So would recommend the reinstall to anyone having various crashing problems. And as I said in previous post, I removed the app, emptied the trash, restarted the computer and download fresh from Affinity Store.
Not sure where to post this "encouraging word" but I have purchased and have begun using Publisher in earnest this week. My subscription with Adobe runs to August 29, so I determined that after the release of Publisher I would take the plunge. In two words ... very pleased. Not that I am surprised. I used PhotoPlus for years and only gave it up when going to Mac. I have had Designer and Photo for quite a while but Publisher was what I was really waiting for. So now I need to break away from my comfort zone, so I am doing this week's study sheets with Studio . My typical weekly work is study sheets for lessons I give on Sundays. I am a pastor of a small church in a small town in western Illinois in the U.S. If you are unfamiliar with Illinois, we are located about halfway across the country; we are about 25 miles east of the Mississippi River. I usually have a four-page, two-column, illustrated handout in color each week. I expected Affinity Publisher to be good and it has exceeded my expectations ... but again having used Serif PhotoPlus, I should not be at all surprised. Okay, now back to work as Sunday is coming. If anyone is interested in seeing my work - and I am not presuming you are - but if you are, here is a link. You can find the study sheets uploaded on our blog as PDFs.
