Installing the exe versions doesn’t fix the display issue for me. However as I mentioned above stopping my sync software does.

I opened your document and when I selected all the text, it appeared that only the top line was highlighted However, when I dragged the bottom handle down to increase the height of the frame, this showed that in fact all of the text had been selected So I am guessing this is a display issue.

I’ve never, ever come across that in world of corporate takeovers.

It might help to distinguish between sharing best practices that can be non software specific (what are the recommended bleed and margin set ups for a DL booklet) and software specific practices (how do set a bleed and margin setting in Affinity Publisher). I am not sure what folk here are asking for or perhaps it’s both?

I’ve assumed you wanted text at the top of the ellipse and then (after pressing return) wanting text at the bottom of the circle as well.

Hit return and adjust baseline to place text at correct height.

I wonder if the Affinity suite will simply come to a natural end in the same way as the old Serif suite ceased to be. Meantime it will be announced that the developers that transferred across to Canva have been working on a completely new suite of software that will be announced with a fanfare.

No you can’t import Microsoft Publisher documents into APu. If you export them as PDF (don’t use the Microsoft driver to do this) you can import those.

APu doesn’t have a fit text to frame function. You have manually reduce/increase the font size.

Disappointed but not surprised by this. The excitement of version 1 and new functions slowed and the much-touted version 2 was welcome but not that exciting. The numbers simply didn't add up.

You can create a group style to “hold” your styles together. https://affinity.help/publisher/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Text/textStyles_types.html#&title=Text style types

If the above doesn’t help you sort it out, try cutting and pasting the text as plain text or creating a new blank right hand frame.

Use the anchor option to centre the image in the frame…

In my experience you will waste so much time trying to import the foreign formatting, it won’t be worth the hassle. I would export the text as unformatted and create new styles in APu.

After some experimenting the ghost frame on page 2 can be found in the layers window of pages 4 and 5 not page 2 as expected. Page2: Page 4 and 5: It's a remnant of a series of linked text frames, one of which was deleted. I'm trying to recreate it
