Just in case you've missed it: For adding chapter numbers and titles there is the Section Manager on the Pages panel.

There is an error in the Help file: To expand a stroke: From the Edit Menu, select Expand Stroke.

Thanks anyway. Perhaps a moderator could clarify this option.....

Can you tell me what 'Smart sharing between tools' entails? The other two options are clear to me but the Help file doesn't mention 'Smart sharing'?

Publisher doesn't allow for foot- or endnotes at this point in time. The devs are working on this facility but when it will become available is not clear.

Thanks for the further clarification. Good to hear that you're actually in good spirits!

Thanks for the clarification. I've read quite some threads on this issue and I find the developers' explanations on why PagePlus files cannot be imported into Publisher clear and conclusive. In addition, they continue to address the user base of their legacy software, such as yourself, with respect and expressed their regret that there is and will be no way to accommodate them/you. I'm sure that they feel your pain and do not consider you and the other PagePlus user base as 'inconvenient'. I actually find it quite recommendable how they (continue to) respond sympathetically to the many disappointed reactions. Even though I never used Serif software before Affinity, I can appreciate your frustration. However, the legacy line would at some point in time have come to an end anyway. The fact that the company is developing a set of apps that replace most of the legacy software and is based on a technology that will be future-proof is very encouraging. How many companies do that, keep their legacy software still available, and continue to interact with the user base courteously? Sure, it makes business sense but only very few companies manage to behave accordingly.

Bart, may I ask why you don't edit the calendar in PagePlus?

I'd say the latter.

Sure, but I just did a copy & paste and added the search item. But I did miss Walt's post.

It will take me a while (if ever) before I know the suite as well as you do!

I agree, seems rather non-intuitive. Another thing that strikes me is that when editing the pressure setting in the Stroke panel this doesn't work. You can only edit in the Decorations setting of the Paragraph sub-panel. The settings should synchronize in both panels.

I like to do searches because I often find additional tips and contextual information but, yeah, it does take some effort.

You can find 'Find and Replace' panel under View/Studio.

Have you tried Google search: text wrap site:https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/3-affinity-support/ Place the entire phrase in your browser's address bar. The red text is whatever you search for (I used 'text wrap' as an example).

I tried this but the custom Text Wrap settings are not included when using Synchronize.

Is there a setting to print 8-page (or 12, 16 etc.) signatures?

Text in JPEGs often show pixelated. If you have to use bitmaps, it's better to use PNGs.

I don't have the answer as it pertains to Designer but, as a possible workaround, have you tried to print to PDF and use a PDF printer driver that's installed on your computer?

As the .cube suffix indicates, you bought a set of LUTs with which can make tonal adjustments to your photos. Here's a tutorial that gives some insights as to how to import and export them: https://player.vimeo.com/video/139439495/.

I don't see transparent 'stuff' when I follow your steps but could you not crop that?

That's hard to say F+F, not seeing what you're working on. and what you're trying to achieve.

When you're in Designer, you can select "File/Edit in Photo..." and make your edits. When done, you select "File/Edit in Designer..." and your file will have the edits you made in Photo included. Of course, the other way around works as well.

Wonderful assets, thank you!
