  1. You could also check to see if the Ignore Baseline Grid option is turned off/on on the text frames.
  2. The blend with a colour rectangle works OK... Very nice. Thanks Old Bruce. It's just a bit of a pain to have to place a filled shape under the text frame wherever I want this to appear but it's a good workaround.
  3. Perhaps I didn't explain properly. So I have two linked text frames. One has a dark background so requires light text; the other works with black text If I add extra text into the left hand frame the text flows over to the right frame but it's still white. If we can assign a style to the text frame then this would cause the text formatting in that frame to change automatically
  4. I can't find this anywhere... but perhaps I've been searching for the wrong thing. I'd like to be able to apply a text style to a text frame in Publisher Why? This is so I can have a coloured background with a text frame but the subsequent linked frame may have a different colour background. So let's say you have a page which has the left hand side a dark blue and on the right it's white. The text that is on the left side of the page would have to be white while on the right side it would be black. So you place a text frame over each half of the page and have them linked. You assign one format to one frame and a different format to the other. When text is added it, flows across the frames and on the left frame it's white text and on the right it's black text. If you add text to the first frame the text is reflowed into the second frame and changes colour. Is this possible now?
  5. So... we have an imge that opens OK in Affinity Photo? And the original image is OK? The calendar software is extremely unlikely to be reading the native Affinity file format, so the image must be exported to a JPG, PNG or suchlike. Do we have a hidden layer in the Affinity file that shows up on the exported raster image due to any flattening process?
  6. Well it sounds like a placemarker in the calendar software to me. Have you replaced this image with a different one - or the original image - to see it that does the same thing?
  7. What I can't yet figure out is why the margins on page 6 are wrong. The inner margin is set to 0.5in and should be on the right, but in your file it's on the left. On pairs of pages we should have the inner margin in the centre - or on the right for even numbered pages and on the left for odd numbered pages.
  8. I think you are confusing margins and bleeds, Jessyca. The bleed is only used to allow for the cropping of the paper not being exact. If the crop was out by 0.050in then without a bleed you'd get a white edge on the page between where the image ends and the paper is cropped. The bleed area allows for this. For the allowance required for the coil binding you need to set the margins so that you don't use that area for anything. And as LondonSquirrel says the issue is with page 6. If you look at this you have a layer named Master Page; just delete this layer and you should be OK
  9. OK, turn on crop marks when you create the PDF file. You'll see that these are positioned so that the pages will be cropped correctly. Most printers only require 3mm or 0.125in bleed so the 0.5in inner bledd doesn't have to be that large. This should allow you to get the file exported for printing OK. Not sure what's causing the crashing yet though.
  10. You say it doesn't appear when the file is open in Affinity Photo nor when you view it through Windows - I assume the file viewer. But it appears when you use the image in some other software? Which software? It sounds like this other application is adding the text?
  11. Hi Jessyca, Can you create a simple four page export PDF file - just front and rear page pairs which I'm hoping won't disclose anything sensitive? Upload that so we can see what the output is with the bleed? This will show what happens when you have facing pages turned on.
  12. I've had some crashes in 1.10 as well. It seems to be a return of the issues we had a few versions ago when modifying tables. I was just editing some text when all of a sudden I'm looking at the Windows Desktop and Publisher has vanished 😒 Reopen Publisher and was offered a file to restore which worked OK with only a few edits missing. Made same changes again with no issues
  13. I've got exactly the same issue. Have been working on a file with no problems since upgrading to 1.10 and suddenly can't save. If I attempt to save as a new file I get a zero sized file created. Reopened the previous version of the file OK. Have redone the changes and the newly updated file is OK. Fortunately I do make regular backups but it is a bit of a concern as if it's some sort of file corruption occuring when working with files created in 1.9 then that would mean that I would have to recrete the templates from scratch in 1.10.... and if it's not a problem "caused" by working on 1.9 version files then it's likely to reoccur The files have NOT been working on using any of the beta versions; only "proper" releases. The afpub files come out at around 165Mb to 180Mb. I would attach one but the current versions are OK. Is there some error log that Publisher produces that would be of help?
  14. I'd suggest that you could look at using mulitple tables stacked on top of each other. I do a table that has alternating coloured lines for each row - so that's one table and I just select alternate rows and change the colour - in theory you may only need one column?? Text is in a duplicate table where the rows have a transparent background. I have a third table between the two so I can change the colour of individual cells
