One of my files crashes Affinity Publisher
MarioM replied to MarioM's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
Wow! That is one neat trick I will have to remember. You are a life saver, MikeTO. Thanks for taking the time and thanks for giving me something that works. Cheers right back at ya. -
Running APub 1.10.8 on MacOS Ventura 13.7. I have dozens of files that I can open and work on with no problem. However, I have one file that invariably crashes APub whenever I try to open it. I spent 8 hours on this file and don't want to lose it! HELP! I'm attaching the report it generated when it crashed. It means nothing to me, but maybe it means something to someone on this forum? I hope so. Also attaching the file if that helps. Translated Report (Full Report.pdf

Have TOC inherit character formatting.
MarioM replied to MarioM's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Hope the affinity team gets to this soon! -
I have a document where some of my chapters have italicized words. When I create or revise a TOC the italicized words in the titles do not carry over to the TOC entries. Would like to see a way to carry over character formatting from the chapter titles to the TOC entries so I don't have to do it manually.

Italics in TOC
MarioM replied to MarioM's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Thanks, MikeTO. Good information to know. -
Some of my chapter titles have italicized words. When I create a table of contents, the italics don't carry over. How do I make this happen?

How do I search for a period?
MarioM replied to MarioM's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Thanks everyone for your help. I appreciate you all giving your time and thought on this. I learned a few things about kerning and fonts. I have decided to take LibreTraining's advice and just change the font. Mario -
How do I search for a period?
MarioM replied to MarioM's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Here is a sample page of my document showing instances where the space after a period is much smaller than the spaces between words in the same line. Note "world. A" in the first line, and "end. Westerns" in the 4th line. Thanks for looking at this. sample page MarioM.afpub -
My document contains many instances of periods without spaces after them. I'm trying to search for these to correct them, but I am having no luck. Publisher does not seem to be able to find a period. When I type a . into the search box, Publisher returns every single character in the entire document. How do I get it to find a period? Addendum to this question: I believe I figured out how to search for a period. I needed to select "normal" in the settings menu. Now I have a new problem. Many of my periods have abnormally short spaces after them, much shorter than the spaces between words in the same lines. How do I fix this?

I have a word file with several styles. When I place the file into an affinity publisher file, the italicized words in some of the styles carry over, but in other styles they do not carry over. I've attached drastically abbreviated versions of both files below with filler text. (The original is over 600 pages). I hope someone here can help me figure out how to carry over all of the italicized text. test document word.docx test document.afpub

Walt and Old Bruce, thanks for your attention to this. I followed Walt's instructions regarding placing the cursor. I found that no matter where I placed the cursor there was a + sign after the text style name at the top of the Text Styles panel. The full definition was the same no matter where my cursor was. I tried Walt's advice and hit the reset button, but it did not change anything. Following Old Bruce's suggestion, I made a much abbreviated version of the file with a smaller index and have attached it here. Most entries in the index have periods after the page number. A few do not. The unpaged entries have a period after them as well. Don't know how that happened either. MarioM index period issues.afpub

Here is a new wrinkle to this problem. I added items to the index. The old items still have the period after the page numbers, but the new items do not. As far as I can tell, I did not do anything different with the new items. The new items without the period are in the same style as the old items with the period. I am truly at a loss as to what is happening here. Hope someone can help. (See entries under "Dry Summer." None of them have periods after the page number)

I made a pdf for the interior of my book, and a pdf for the cover of my book using affinity publisher. The cover uploaded successfully to both IngramSpark and kdp. However, the interior file will not. I called both IngramSpark and kdp, but they were both baffled with no idea what was going on. I'm hoping someone here can tell me what the issue might be. Since the cover uploaded successfully to both services, and the interior did not, it seems like the issue must be with the interior file, but I have no idea what that might be. I've tried 3 different browsers, I've re-exported the file and tried again. I cleared the cache's in my browsers. Nothing seems to work. The file is 120 MBs, well below the maximum size for both services. IS allows up to 1.5 GB, and kdp allow ups to 660 MB. My internet speed varies between 13 and 16 mbps. The file is in PDF/X-1a:2003 format. I am using the latest versions of macOS, affinity publisher, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. I am not new to this. I have done many books for both services. I have never encountered this issue and I am at a loss.

Thanks for pointing that out, Old Bruce. What I don't understand is how the table got on the master page. I didn't put it there deliberately. All I did was copy it because I wanted to place a copy of the table on another page. Does this mean the master page is different for different spreads? How does that happen if I only have 1 master page? Also, it doesn't happen for everything I select and copy. Only for some things. I am very confused....
