I have never been confident with custom shortcuts or macros. Thus my desire for the crutch of right-clicking.

I should have mentioned that I am using a Mac. But having to copy into Notepad and then copy from there to Affinity is hardly an efficient workflow, when programs like Word simply have an option in the right-click menu to save without formatting. For my current project I am having to do a significant amount of cutting and pasting, and it is becoming laborious. At least I now know there is an option in the drop-down menu, itself another disruption to the workflow. The keyboard shortcut is four keys to be depressed simultaneously - it is like playing piano! Thanks for the answers and suggestions. I am left thinking that a right-click option for pasting without formatting would be a workflow improvement. Cheers.

Well, I am in idiot. In all my searching I never saw it; too busy looking under Text I guess. I even Googled it and din't find it. Serves me right for posting. Thanks for the tip.

A really handy feature for me, found in many word processing programs, would be an option, perhaps in the right-click menu, to Paste as Plain Text. Copying from a word processor or PDF very often results in the formatting copied taking me onto another page! Thanks.

Thank you. So far I have only created text flow frames for the one article. I shall keep what you say in mind for the next one. Cheers.

Hi. I have done some searching but I have not found an answer to the following question: How does one set "top align" as the default for a text frame, instead of "justify vertically"? I am currently working on my first project in Affinity Publisher and my text frames are set by default to vertical justification, which sometimes creates a frightening scene when adding text! My search for a field or setting to make top alignment the default has so far proved useless, so I must remember to set it for each frame, even frames of flow text. Thanks.
