Mike - you provided the missing link (from my perspective)—the Continued Note Setting. Many thanks. Your guide is the clearest and most comprehensive Affinity guide I have seen yet. Thanks for that too!- 12 replies

Thank you Mike! I will give it a good read, but if I cannot get those thick lines to go, endnotes it will be. My thanks to you and Walt for your help. 👍

I think I might just convert them to endnotes! 🤔

Update: I have experimented with split notes for the individual footnote (though for once that extends to all the footnotes) and that solves the gap problem. BUT two pages later these thick lines appear, and remain even when Draw rule is turned off (the regular drawn rules disappear but these persist, and I cannot select them to delete them). This happens on a few pages, but not all.

Thanks Mike and Walt. Footnote new is based on footnote text, the flow settings for which are attached below.

Thanks Walt. Attached are the flow for the body text and footnote styles.

Good morning. 1) I am finding the page formatting hard to adjust in text frames with footnotes. I have played with gaps before, split notes etc but I still end up with huge gaps in text frames even when the paragraph that has been split has only two lines remaining, which are still forced over the page. I am presumably missing something, but I cannot work out what it is! 2) I am also finding that applying a text style does not remove the mystery all caps in the footnotes when the Word file was placed, even though the Word file did not have all caps, and I cleared text styles beforehand and pressed the reapply text styles button to remove any subsequent formatting change to the footnote style, which only changes the current footnote, not all of them. The problem with reapply is that it removes any italics in the the text body, so they all have to be restored manually one by one. Any tips gratefully received.

Doh@! Bingo! All solved and lesson learned. Thank you all for your time and help. Much appreciated. 🍻

Wosven—thank you. I tried the first option, in text wrap, with no effect. The second option/photo...I am having trouble finding that settings panel in English! Old Bruce—is ther attached what you mean?
-
Old Bruce—thanks for the idea, but it does not help in this instance. I created a text style for the footer page number, applied it in the Master, then went to page 30 and applied the text style there. No change. Even removing any style on page 30 leaves the number below the footer box.

Thanks Walt. I will just post a copy of the file thus far (attached) - the text is not top secret and will bore you to sleep I suspect! footer fault file.afpub

I have had a search around and could find only one topic that seemed like mine, and trying the proposed workaround (removing and re-applying the master) did not work for me. I have set up a simple Master page to accommodate page numbering. It works on every page except one, which has thrown the page number out of the footer box. So far I am struggling to find a way to adjust vertical alignment with the footer box (or any field for that matter). But I am lost as to what is causing this. I attach screenshots of the problem page and the master. Sorry of this is basic stuff but I am at a loss. Thank you.

OK. When I tried to select "Edit Wrap Outline" Publisher crashed again, but on opening the recovered file the image now has the text wrapping around it. I have no idea what happened but maybe someone here will spot something. Cheers. 👍

Hi. I am well advanced on a magazine I am producing and all of a sudden the text will not wrap around an image I am adding, whereas on the several previous images it worked fine. "Ignore text wraps" is not checked for the text frame. When trying repeatedly to do it Affinity actually crashed, though the crash report goes to Apple not to Affinity I suspect. Has anyone had a similar problem recently? I am using Affinity Publisher 1.8.6 on an iMac with 32GB RAM, running Big Sur 11.1. Thanks!

Paste as Plain Text

I have never been confident with custom shortcuts or macros. Thus my desire for the crutch of right-clicking. -
Paste as Plain Text
HughOSB replied to HughOSB's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
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. -
Paste as Plain Text

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.
