Hi Mick thanks for that. I did suspect that the formatting didn't come from the Word Document, but it is actually a bug in Publisher. To prove that, I exported the text from the Word file into a simple .TXT file and used the same process as above, with the same result. First page all good, second page with micro fonts. A Select All, apply Body Text and Clear Character Styles doesn't change anything. Interestingly, if you select some of the small text on page two and then do a Clear Character Styles, it does fix that section. However, once you have found all small bits and then you try Select All and apply Body Text across the board to be certain you didn't miss anything, it goes back to the old issue. Further, if you try to fix all those micro font sections areas bit by bit, you suddenly get this (see attached). This is seriously buggy stuff to me! Regards Phil

Hi guys I am new to Affinity Publisher but have used other Text and DTP programs in the past. Still, I appreciate, I may oversee something here. However, I have tried about everything that is humanly possible to figure out what is going on and still can't fix it. Thus, I believe this could be a bug. See attached two test files. How to reproduce: Open Publisher File - see issue on page 2, super small text with tiny spacing values. Even if you apply Text Style Body Text, it won't fix it. Lets try to start from scratch again, open the Word File Copy Word text (dummy text from a Guardian article) CTRL-A and delete all text in Publisher .. so start from scratch Paste the Word text into the columns - you see the same issue again. Here, I tried to CTRL-A and apply the Text Style Body Text, no luck I experience other strange things, e.g. there was a sudden Column Break but I didn't put any there and there were no issue with Text Flow options either, or some of the column text suddenly had a very large font, or some of the text simply disappeared into a black hole as far as visibility is concerned, but was still there in the background (CTRL-A and Copy, past into Notepad, text was still complete). I am at my end, sorry. Any help with this would be really appreciated. Kind regards Phil Publisher Test_v2.afpub Test Text.docx

Hi firstdefence, thanks for your response. I used to work in IT support for years and still appreciate how difficult it is for others to 'guess' what the users problem could be with next to no background information :-). Funnily, I tried exactly what you suggest after my post because I found another post in this forum that described my problem. I then played a little with bilinear/bicubic resize/export. I haven't come to a final conclusion yet if the problem is completely gone, but I can already say that things a way better.

Hi I am new to AP, so please forgive me if I am asking a stupid question here. However, I spent quite some time researching the issue and haven't found any solutions to my problem. The background: Version of AP: 1.6.5.135 Windows: 10, patched to 1809 Image source: Olympus 64MB high-res RAW -> DxO Photolab 2, exported TIFF CMYK/8, 9248 x 6916, 300dpi, 24 bit, uncompressed -> this is a 186MB hi-res image Image parameters in AP: See attached image of 'New...' Document type: Glossy high-res sales material Issue: If I place the high-resolution image into my AP document via the Place command, scale it down to the correct size, it looks very pixelated. I tried all sorts of combinations of 'New ...' and different import file types (e.g. high quality .jpg, etc.), but the problem persists regardless. If I look at the original TIFF file with the Windows Photo Viewer for example and zoom in all the way, the quality of the image is very good. This is driving me crazy. Can anybody help. Where do I go wrong? I cannot believe that this otherwise great program would artificially make high-res images look worse than they actually are. Thanks for your help. Cheers Phil
