Affinity Publisher is a excellent, stable program. I started using it two weeks ago and powered out a 118 page cookbook - one of the more complex books that can be made. Publisher handled it like a champ.
There are some things that would make it better for serious users.
A pre-press function needs to be available. When exporting, Publisher will warn of a text overflow but no indication of where to find it. That involves a lot of scrolling. A page number at the minimum would be nice.
Sending files to the publisher will sometimes kick back the an image is below 300 DPI. That's a lot of looking to find it. The Resource Manager is "helpful" in a small way. It would be nice to be able to sort the DPI list so one doesn't have to look through the whole thing. Something better would be to test and trap low res graphics and at least raise a flag.
Publisher is new and it's a great version 1. I realize this is the start and there's plans for more and better things down the road. I ask the above be considered.

Okay, we can call off the dogs with my sincere appreciation for all you that jumped in to help. Writing the extra paragraph in WORD and copy and paste from there works, but it's a work around. Work around's bug me and I couldn't shake the feeling this was operator error. So I went back to create a paragraph in Notepad again and copy/pasted it to Affinity. Yep, there's that text mess again. This time I see the left indent was set to 24. Well that explains that. This is repeatable so something buried somewhere in the Notepad plain text is forcing that.
That's for a later time to chase down.
 
Again - thank you everyone!
