Thanks for trying. I realised that I had a previous package and by rescuing some pages from a copy made for proofing, I might be able to get it good enough. Who needs sleep?
-
Many hours of work on a file that while working on it suddenly said 'the file seems to be corrupted' and closed. It now will not open. It is urgently need - due at the printer tomorrow. Please advise if you can help. Tried saving it to my PC (just switched to Mac and that's where I had the problem). Windows tries to load it, but the same error message.
Help!!! -
I'm sure I've raised this before. It is really irritating that the page/spread options are not included in the stored export profiles. For example, my 'send to the litho printer' setting always needs pages, but the dialogue always reverts to spreads. Irritating as it must be a simple fix!
-
Like the find in layers option!

Happy Publisher user, but variable font support is increasingly becoming important. So +1 from me for support
-
It is irritating that the export PDF dialogue always resets to spreads, even when repeating an export. It would be even better if pre-set export settings could be saved with the spread/page setting remembered.

This seems to have reverted to the older behaviour in the released version. However, less of an issue as table import is so much better!

xlsx files with joined cells are also imported with an error.
Also seeing this problem with merged cells although there is only one sheet.

We have made fixes/improvements to this area (Text wrap fails on shapes or curves with no fill and no stroke) of the program in the latest Affinity Publisher beta. If you would like to try these changes the beta software is available in the forum posts listed below. Once Affinity Publisher has been through a full beta process the change will be released in a future free 1.8.0 update to all customers.
The 1.8.0 builds are in links at the top of these beta forum posts

Ah, thanks for the explanation. I'll look at a workaround.
-
Thanks for adding that clarification. As you say, it looks like some kind of grid issue, but in the original documents I don't see that behaviour with any other objects, except the pasted metafile.
-
When a pasted enhanced metafile graphic (in this case, an excel table) does not wrap correctly at the bottom of the group, although it does work correctly on the top and sides. Extra space has to be added at the bottom. Example attached.
-
Hmmm - good observation - it is just the bottom distance. I'll post in the bugs forum.
-
Thanks, Walt, and apologies for the delay in coming back - busy with a project. I have created a page with a table that has been pasted in as an enhanced metafile in Windows. The group has been set to text wrap, but, as you can see, it's not wrapping.

-
I seem to have a problem when pasting in tables from Excel in Publisher which do not correctly text wrap. The graphic is a group, but text flows under it. I have ensured that 'ignore text wrap' is not selected.
-
Would also like to see scaling
-
While the main Colour tab has a percentage option to set the opacity of RGB, when used for e.g. table fills or text fills, the %age option is not available, so takes longer than it should to set multiple fills to be the same.
-
I have also seen a lot of issues with this kind of 'slow typing'. I have a three year old Lenovo Thinkpad with Core i7. Affinity Publisher is the only app affected. I have a fairly complicated and graphic intensive document, but it is unusably slow at times.
-
Also was having this problem. Tried pasting from Google Sheets, XL and Libre Office. Tried with two cells selected. Tried with exact number selected. Tried with more selected. Cleared existing data. All still ends up in one column.
Eventually got it to work by pasting a single column at a time.

I am also having this issue with fonts in old fonts in tables that don't seem to be able to be cleared (even where cells are not empty). Did you find a work around for this bug?
