Dear Forum
I have a serious problem with my affinity publisher and I cannot find a solution.
I created a table (a few rows, not big) in my book and wanted to shift the table around. Suddenly the table seems to be stuck inside the text frame and between pages, in which it was placed, and it is not possible to move it anymore. The handles are gone and even the table manager doesn’t show properties of this table. There were the handles of the frame have been are now just little blue crosses. I cannot touch or move it with the table tool, the picture frame tool, or any of the arrow tools. Strangely I can change the text within the table easily. rebooting doesn’t not work, and the internet cannot supply an answer for this strange behaviour. I cannot even erase the table, which means the whole document is damaged…
What happened ?
Please help.

SOLVED !
The text that contains romanized Devanāgarī letters has to be pasted as UNICODE TEXT ( not without format). The problem is then solved when one chooses EDIT - PASTE SPECIAL - UNICODE TEXT.
afterwards the letters can be re-transformed in any other font.

I read in the net (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/217228/what-does-it-mean-when-my-text-is-displayed-as-boxes) , that the text being displayed in boxes is not supported.
But this is not true, word is showing me in several different fonts including the one I used in affinity publisher, these transliterated letters. therefore I cannot understand why it is this way, I thought affinity publisher is using the system fonts?

I cannot paste normal transliterated text in Garamond that is derived from Devanāgarī.
Usually in word this is no Problem, once I simply copy and paste the text from word in Publisher, Publisher almost crashes and then gives out simple cubes instead of the letters, this is true when it is pasted with or without format. If this problem cannot be solved affinity publisher is almost useless. I need this transliterated letters as I am writing about a Sanskrit text.
Please help me, all adobe fonts of Garamond are installed on my computer (win 10).

Cannot touch table, no handles

Thank you very much !
Indeed, the solution is right click on the master layer "Edit Detached" and then the layer with the object concerned can be drawn out of the master layer and used again...
thank you Carl123!
