Yes copy and paste without format. And yes I manually apply bold and italic in APu. Importing styles (even just bold and italic)from Word was just too time consuming and I just prefer having a ‘clean’ base to work from.

I find it more reliable to do all my formatting in Affinity and only import Word files as plain text.

I don't think exporting a Publisher document to a Word document would be practical.  Exporting the text of an individual story, sure, but not the entire document.  The structure of a DTP document is just too different from that of a traditional word processing document - it may be possible to export something which loosely resembles the Publisher document, but it would not be practical to work with in Word and some of the formatting would be very likely to break during the export.
 
Convince them that what they really want is PDF.  DOCX files make for a *very* poor distribution format, however much some people might wish to pretend otherwise.

Almost certainly your printer will require the export as pages not spreads. As @walt.farrell says just run two exports (as pages), one for the cover and one for the other pages. Just remember that (annoyingly) you have to change it from spreads to pages every time.

The entire interface of version 2.0 is a degradation from V1. A thorough redesign is no longer an option but a necessity. 
Incredibly poor contrast (shades of gray used to build panels, buttons, category backgrounds). Lack of consistency when it comes to the design of elements such as drop-down lists, text fields (size, padding, alignment, text line heights, appearance)  Different shapes of tabs in panel groups for active states, hovering states. Blending of the background color of the text box with the panel itself. Lack of consistency when it comes to the quality of icons (some look sharp, pixel aligned and pixel perfect others are blurry) Visual noise. (to much bad previews, icons) ... It would take a long time to list. It is simply unpleasant to work with such an interface.
When I read the following article on Affinity Spotlight it gave me a good laugh.
Specifically, I am referring to the beginning of the article which reads:
EDIT: link to article corrected.

It isn't a "bug", it's "by design" – it is also very stupid and annoying! (I have no idea why Serif refuse to let the user decide which default export option they want!)

I find the easiest and most reliable way to do this is to export to PDF and then use the booklet option to print from the pdf reader.

This is done via Windows settings not Outlook. 

It might help to think about why you are using a baseline grid. For me it makes body text of documents consistent across pages and frames (I rarely use columns). I don’t use a BG for headings, pull quotes etc but I do consider their font size and leading to ensure it works with the body text.
I first get the font size and leading right for my document with BG off. Once it looks right, I apply the BG to the body style and adjust the setting as described above to ensure it works with my body style. Adjusting the BG parameters last so it matches the base style, rather than the other way round, is the best way to do it.

Well you have ctrl z and I have reset the shortcut so that ctrl y works as redo.

But @walt.farrell if you make changes after synchronize and save, the defaults in the current session will be overwritten by adding those new changes to the previously saved ones beacause text frame remembers last applied changes.
Therefore, the text frame should not remember the last applied changes. This is the job for object styles. And text style control is the job for text styles. Text frame should only be a container. It would be less confusing.

That is a well presented tutorial with concise and informative content.

Masking is a crucial skill for non-destructively editing your photos and art. In this video, we’ll look at masking from the ground up in Affinity Photo.
 

Have you used the outer drag handle to change the size of the object. It will also change the font size as required.

I use a range of different masters with meaningful names and use the pages panel on the left to apply them. I highlight the page thumbnail(s) and right click to apply the required mp from the drop-down.

And the failure to remember to print anything other spreads is equally annoying.
