I have to agree with captain_slocum regarding span text across multiple columns.
I started using Affinity Publisher about 18 months ago. Then, after a few months of persevering, I went back to InDesign because I use this feature all the time in my publications.
I saw version 2 come out, and silly me, I assumed the span column feature would be included due to the large number of people requesting the feature on the forum and the fact this feature is, without question, a prime requirement in a publishing program.
To get into my first publication with Affinity Publisher 2 and to find out it is still missing is highly disappointing.
Come on, you guys at Affinity, do the right thing with this request; it is a must-have.
