When creating text in Publisher I am keying in (A) but when putting in the close parenthesis then space it changes to @ also when keying in (C) it changes to ©. It only seems to happen in Publisher. I have set the text in Designer and copied it across and that works OK.

Have answered my own question. Highlight the url text - go to text drop down menu - down to interactive - insert hyperlink - change to url. When I exported to pdf the link worked fine. Happy days!!

Many thanks for your comments. Not sure what happened when transferring the documents across but can assure you that the background colour is not pink but a pale green.

For some reason in Publisher when converting to PDF the long hyperlink (four lines) will not open, it goes to Page Not Found. When I have converted the link to PDF in Word there is no problem. Short hyperlinks work OKMoonraker August 2023.afpubMoonraker August 2023.afpub Moonraker August 2023.pdf

I have just installed NMF Burner font but it will not show up on any document in Publisher, Designer or Photo. When using it in Word there is no problem.

When opening a saved Publisher document it is opening as a Designer document. It was originally saved in Publisher.

Many thanks for the replies, all now OK.

Somehow all my text boxes are now all in caps. Can anyone please tell me how to change back to u/lc?

I have all three on Windows 10. Not prompted to download any update (all purchased from Affinity) and cannot find Check For Updates anywhere, I imagine it should be in the help drop down menu.

1.10 updates not showing on Publisher, Designer or Photo.

Thanks for the info, I was looking at Acrobat Reader software. Have now downloaded Adobe Reader and has worked OK, a good work around. Hope Affinity fixes this bug soon as it is very annoying.

Thank you for the replies. I am very disappointed that I have to pay and download another programme just so that I can print an A5 card.

When switching from paper to card I have tried Standard setting and Photo Printing. I have attached the setting values.

I am having problems printing A5 300 gsm card on Canon ix6850 printer. When printing on paper everything is fine, when I switch to the card the position of the image changes and doubles the border at the bottom of the card. I thought originally it was a fault with the printer but have downloaded Gravit (free download) and created the image on that with no problems. It doesn't happen with A4 card. I have attached copy of printer settings.

Yes it is individual letters converted to curves.

When downloading an editable vector with curved text is it possible to revert the curved text back to basic?

Thanks Walt - all now downloaded.

I have run the programme three times in administrator mode but still no free assets. Do I have to download them from somewhere?

Photo has suddenly started 'Not Responding' half way through an operation. I have attached a screen shot.

Thanks for your reply. I am using Windows 10 on an Acer Aspire pc. The printer is a Canon Pixma iX 6850. I have run the scan as you suggested and it finally came back with the message 'Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations'. I have now run an experiment. I have installed all three Affinity programmes on an old Dell Inspiron pc I use as a backup. I have installed all the updates. I cannot recreate the crashing problems which leads me to think that there must be a problem with my Acer pc. On the bleed issue though it must definitely be a software problem as there is still no bleed down the right hand long edge on an A4 sheet. It is 3mm short of bleeding and 2mm short on the bottom short edge. Thanks again for all your help.

Thank you very much for your post re the problems I am having with Affinity. I have checked the graphics card and there are no updates for it. I am afraid my technical knowledge is such that I feel very worried about trying your other suggestions ( I am 78 years of age with no computer background). The thing that I cannot understand is that before the recent updates the programmes were all working fine. Only yesterday within an hour Publisher and Designer both closed on me when working on a project, and there is still this problem with the bleed on the printer. Again before the update no problems. I have been using Affinity since the beginning and Serif products right back to the early days of PagePlus but it looks now as if I have to look around for other programmes which is a big problem. Very, very disappointing as Serif do not seem to have an answer.

I am using the copies I have bought from yourselves. I went to use Designer this morning opened the programme and went to download an illustration and it just closed. I am not a professional but use the programmes for a club newsletter and creating greetings cards for friends and family. If I relied on it for work I think I would have changed to something else by now. Yes I am using a Canon A3 printer but never had this problem before updates.

No crash reports are listed which seems strange. No particular operation causes the programme to freeze, it is intermittent. Regarding the bleed 0.3 shows on all four edges in the set up yet when printing it still does not bleed on the right edge and it is also a fraction short at the bottom. Never used to have these problems. I have always been extremely pleased with all three programmes and recommended them to a number of friends but after years of using Serif programmes am now considering looking around for other possibilities.

Since recent updates I am experiencing a problem on all three software programmes Designer, Publisher and Photo. During the creation of a project the programme freezes then closes. When opening the programme again is does find a rescue file of the project. Another problem has also occurred and that is I can only get bleed on three sides of a page. On an A4 page the long side on the right will not bleed.

Since the update I have had problems with minimising Designer. When restoring it back the project is shown without the programme details. It then shows the message 'programme not responding' and closes. When opening Designer again it does find a rescue for the project but not always with the latest corrections I have made.
