I’d place all three objects on the master page using a picture frame for the the sandwich filling.

The most frustrating and illogical setting is the one in the export dialogue preset that reverts to All Spreads. That one has haunted me from V1 through to V2.

I’ve used Google Drive for 15 years and never had a problem.

Yes they did, DrawPlus which was the equivalent of ADe.

Is it? So why would I need to use or need that knowledge?

Ignore the No Style. Create a base paragraph style will all the parameters set as required. Import text as unformatted.

There are a number of threads about this issue. I’ve come across it myself when using linked text frames. Invariably, I delete the offending frame and create a new one to solve the issue. Lazy but I don’t have he time or inclination finding where the problem lies or even if it is fixable by tweaking the frame parameters.

We use GoogleDocs to create text content. These can be shared and edited across multiple authors and copied and pasted info APu when complete.

I use a 10+ year old i5 2500 processor with 16gb running W10 and I too don’t suffer crashes with v2.

Just use paste as plain text.

You are thinking of Elbradamontes

Have you checked that they are not buried under a series of sub categories?

In terms of referring to text styles, that was not me!

The example you sent above has a separate paragraph style defined for each level which is what I referred to earlier. The other key point is to define the Next level defined so that when you enter TAB (like MS Word) it automatically creates an indented bullet/number

I’ve had a couple of occasions when one of a series of linked text frames has resulted in text being a lighter shade. Rather than attempting to locate the issue in the affected frame, I delete it and add a new one. I suppose I could try the new “format painter” tool to see if that would fix the faulty frame?

I am wondering if there is difference between operating systems? I use all three apps on a regular basis and have had just once crash using V2 on Windows since it was released.

The default bullet styles use separate styles for each label and I replicated that. I was unable to alter indents independently. Changing level 1 affected level 2 etc and visa versa. If you have an example of multi level bullets using a single style, can you upload it as I would like to see it?

The lightbulb moment for me when using multi level bullets was realising each level was a different style.

I’d use the pen tool (curve mode) in ADe and the arrow end.

I often use Artboards to define my area for export. It also becomes the default in the export window so is a time saver too.

I use the pen tool to draw lines.

Upon opening a V1 document in V2 I now get the following. This suggests to me that it is now possible in 2.03 to save imported files in V1 format which is clearly not the case as using 'Save As' (as it suggests) does not allow me to "preserve the original file". Is this just a case of poor choice of words and would the error be better as... "xxx was created in Affinity 1. Editing it will make it unusable in the older version. Close this file and make a copy/backup to preserve the original file,"

I tend to use png when importing into Word if I want transparency, otherwise jpeg to save space. Obviously I keep the original ADe and occasional APh files safe.

I define a base style (actually a group style) and refer everything back to that . Any font issues I find are more easily addressed.

Carry on using v1 then.
