[Span Columns]

There are only a few things I really, really need from Affinity 2 before I can ditch the subscription to Adobe, which I'd love to do.

• Span columns is crucial
• Running titles (done!)
• Data merge (done!)
• I do use scripts to create hyperlink destinations; Affinity 2 might (?) be able to do that with find/replace. Not sure. I haven't really looked yet because without Span Columns, there's no point in looking.

All of my projects use span columns, because I have a lot of "sections" that need visual breaks between them, and inserting titles in separate frames may well be old-shcool, but since it's available in other packages with a click ...

I am curious: why is this hard? (honest question)

[Importing docx or rtf doesn't retain styles?]

When I tried the beta, I was immediately sold. I was up and running from an RTF template in moment, all my styles importing.

Now when I import, they styles don't come in. When I tried to do it in different ways, Publisher crashed on me.

I'm going to give it one more try on the new 16 page project I'm doing, then going back to Adobe until I figure this out. Did something change in how things import or come in?
