Hello Affinity, I'm still working with InDesign because Publisher version 2.2 unfortunately doesn't handle Span Column either. My main focus is layout for fiction and scientific books, so this feature is absolutely necessary for me. Please tell us if this feature will be available in version 3 - or will it never be on your to-do list?

I am a professional and layout books and magazines.

Your answer is like a joke, because Affinity had many years to program span column. By the way: Span column is one of the most important functions for a layout program - and Affinity is so stupid to continue to ignore this. Publisher is not made for professionals. And it is clear that I will stay with Adobe InDesign!

No, it's Affinity's biggest oversight yet!

Hi, My enthusiasm is very limited. When will cross-column text formatting be installed? As it looks like this will not be implemented in the next 1.9 update - although it has been requested many times here in the forum. Your "Publisher" is therefore still no alternative for InDesign for me.

Hi, sorry, my annoyance is due to the fact that I already communicated with Affinity Support after the release of version 1.7 and they promised me to include this feature in one of the upcoming updates. But how long should we wait for that? I'm really surprised why this important feature hasn't been implemented yet, as it is one of the basic functions of a layout program. But well, if Affinity doesn't want to move, I'll just take my consequences and stick with InDesign.

Hi, i really resent the fact that in the 1.8 update you still don't allow headings to run across multiple columns. I waited a long time (too long) for this update - and now this feature is still missing. You should be ashamed of yourself.
