I've just finished transcribing a 68-page medical document dealing with Lyme Disease from Apple Pages to Affinity Publisher. My document has many updates including a slew of complex tables with some screenshots and a number of passages of text. Overall, it looks a lot more presentable, and I was pretty happy with the results.
When I'd finished, I decided that my list of credits at the end would look better formatted into two columns rather than one, since it's a list of names. Because this list came at the bottom of the final text passage, I cut it, changed the size of the text box it was cut from, then created another text box less than half the width of the page beneath it, followed by a second one to the right as my second column. with a text overflow connection between them.
When I pasted the cut text into the first column, it flowed perfectly into the second one. However, when I clicked into that second box to make a change, AP crashed. And it has continued to crash every time I time I click into any text box, or try to select any other page, or tool that can handle text input - even after multiple AP relaunches and Mac restarts.
This leaves me in the horrible position of having spent two weeks working non-stop on this document with absolutely nothing to show for it at the end. There are more than 10,000 people waiting to see this document, and I have zero to show them. This is not a good place to be in. I also have a further 23 similar documents waiting to be migrated from Apple Pages, and this is anything but confidence-inspiring, and decidedly not a good start with Affinity products (I own all three).
I'd be very grateful for help to rescue this corrupt file.
Kind regards,
David.
