As a long-standing Serif customer ( I think I started with PagePlus 2 or 3 after getting a trial version with PCPro magazine) I've been following the progress of the new Affinity Suite with great interest, using Designer and Photo from shortly after their launch. I've been trialling the Publisher beta during the last couple of days and am really impressed - can't wait to try the first release version tomorrow.
May I add a request for .ODT import for Publisher? Like many others since Microsoft Office went to a subscription pattern I have moved over to LibreOffice, and, although it will export into .DOCX format that nerfs any double column text frames I may have added to the document, and using a PDF import strips text flow and styles from the document.
Please, please keep up the fantastic work you've been doing :)
