[Expand Stroke]

For Expand Stroke you need to be in the Draw Persona and then you'll find that option on the Layer menu  

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'?

[Importing a Word docx with End Notes loses the references]

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!

I sense that Publisher developers find the PagePlus user-base inconvenient... However, there are plenty of people like myself who have used PagePlus ever since it blinked into being and who want to be able to get PagePlus files to work properly in Publisher.

 

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 have the feeling I am missing something about how this should work but I don't know if it is me or that syncing text wrap settings is just buggy. 

I'd say the latter.

You don’t need a full URL when performing a ‘site:’ search. For the above example,

"text wrap" site:forum.affinity.serif.com

will suffice. As @walt.farrell mentioned, you should omit the quotation marks if you want results for either of the words instead of the whole phrase.

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!  

[Are Paragraph Decoration Top/Bottom distance increases the wrong way round?]

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.

[Change all spelling instances in a Publisher document.]

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

The point I'm trying to make is slightly different.  I'm used to looking in the forums for answers to my problems before posting.  The searching facilities are ... extremely modest, so that pretty much defeats my search strategy of beginning very specifically and dropping terms as necessary until I find something pertinent.  So the alternative would be a more general search in more specific forums.

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 have just stumbled upon the following, while sprucing up my personal Publisher Help file.  You could find this under Publisher HELP>Text Wrapping.   I haven't tried it to see if it will work, but you might.  At least when you start with "None" and click on wrap style, perhaps your distance settings might automatically turn up.  Hope so!

If it works, you set up the first wrap setting, then click on the little blue icon up on your Toolbar  (see below)

and then go to EDIT>Defaults>Save.    

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

[Publisher Export For Print - JPEG quality issues]

26 minutes ago, abfdesign said:

If a client can't supply with fonts converted to curve, I've been asking them for JPEG instead and just using that directly in Publisher as it is supplied. But some export to print poorly. 

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?

 Yes, "Unclip canvas," but that puts some annoying transparent "stuff" around the original image.

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

... if there’s a way to access tools across apps. 

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.
