[Text flows but not consistently]

I import and flow text from frame to frame, but I find that the text can look different from one frame to the next, The first frame is often loosely leaded by the end frame leading is much tighter. Also the look of the text cab vary from looking crisp and sharp to looking much looser. All this yet I make sure that the typeface, size etc are exactly the same from frame to frame

[Further problems trying to print in 1.7.2]

I registered the problem that Publisher 1.7,2 just crashed after pressing Print on August 17th “

Posted August 17 (edited)

Using Affinity Publisher 1.7.2 on an iMac running 10.13.6. I am using a Canon MP990 pinter. I was trying to print a draft of the magazine I was working on which has 22 pages. I set up the printer to print duplex. I pressed print got the printer screen where I specified duplex printing, and printing from the front cassette. Quality wasn’t an issue as it was just a rough draft. I pressed print on the print window. Affinity sent me a message that some text was overflowing. I pressed the ignore option. Then I got a window showing the product was loading and then Affinity crashed. It did this three times in a row. I had only tried to print a few pages after I started the project. It seemed to work that time, but not today. The original printing was before I upgraded to the latest version

Hi,

There is an issue in 1.7.2 where the program may crash when printing if the file contains an embedded document.

For now if you want to print your file you can either:

• If you have the Affinity Store version of the product, downgrade to 1.7.1 here
• Export to PDF and print from there
• Rasterise the embedded documents before printing

Apologies for the inconvenience.

If you could upload your file here it would be appreciated

Well I chose to Export to PDF. Today Sept 3rd I wanted to print out Magazine to check layout and text so on the Print screen I selected print entire document and then clicked on PDF initially saved document as PDF then pressed Print and after a brief sight of window with progress bar going across it crashed again. thank goodness I had pressed Save before I started,  I got the programme back up very quickly. Went through File/Print and then pressed PDF, and tried to Save as PDF again and then it crashed again without reaching print stage

I also should mention that I earlier printed the last page of the Magazine twice to check type size in ordinary print form and it printed without problem both times. I am sending you the last saved version of Tekiah! 9/2018 V7afpub and Tekiah! 9/2018 v10 pdf which is what I converted it to before printing the first time. I am quite worried because we getting close to submitting magazine to printers

[Text Wrap Problem]

I am trying to create a two page spread with two text wrap inserts, rectangles with no signs of the boxes converted to text frames with bits of the text of the stories highlighted in a four text frame story. Using Text Wrap/Show text wrap settings, I was able to set up a text wrap insert in frame two (shown in the picture), but not in either frame 1,or in frame 3, which is also shown in the picture. I have been trying for a couple of hours to get this to work, hve viewed the video again, all to no avail

[Problemwith text flow in 4 linked frames]

I am trying to recreate a layout in Affinity Publisher that has been sent to me which includes 4 linked text frames, the second frame had a nevy blue background so the colour of the text has to be changed to white in that frame, in the rest it is black. The problem is that I finf it difficult to get the text to flow freely. In the the first box and second box it is tightly leaded but in the third and fourth boxes the leading is much looser with big spaces between the lines. How do I get the spacing of the lines to be even and the same in all four boxes
