Aha! It was the latter - the image had picked up the header style. I had thought of that earlier, but when I selected the image it said 'no style', selecting it as you suggested however, revealed other wise. I really appreciate it! While I have you... given that you've been mega helpful... Twice this evening, the behaviour of my arrow keys (I'm on a Mac) have changed so that pressing them to move around a text block, instead increases the letter spacing between words. When this happens, I need to hold down the command button to make them work normally again. I can remedy this by saving, closing and reopening the doc, after which functionality returns to normal. I am 'assuming' that there is a shortcut I'm accidentally enabling and causing this behaviour (i.e. it feels deliberate, rather than a glitch), but I have no idea how I've managed to enable that twice (or how to revert it). Any ideas, oh wise Old Bruce?

Slightly unrelated (I think)... I have added this image inline to the file and it has gained an underline. If I move that image to elsewhere inline, the underline vanishes... For some reason it seems to just appear when the image is placed in that position. I can't work out why - there is no actual underline applied to it. Is this line created by Publisher in order to highlight an issue to me, or is something strange happening? Thanks!

Thanks - hidden paragraph breaks. Solved!

Hi all, Strange issue I can't solve. Thought my doc, a few empty lines have appeared in bulleted lists (see image). Oddly, I can't delete these line. I can toggle the bullets off, which removed the bullet, but the empty line simply won't go away no matter how card I press the delete key If I hit return, and create another line/bullet, that too refuses to go away again. Ideas?

Perfect! This is exactly what I needed! Thanks!

Hi all, I'm having a few issues with image behaviour that I can't quite nail down. I have page numbers set in my master pages, however images that are placed on regular pages are moving the page numbers via text wrap. Previously as an InDesign user, text placed on a master page, such as page numbers, page headers etc. would be unaffected by images or other objects. In the example below, I have an image with text wrap applied. On the master page, the page number is in the middle and centre aligned (as you can see on the left page), but the text wrap around the image has forced the page number downwards, as you can see it is no longer in line with the opposite page (page 14 is correct, page 15 has been pushed down). Even with the tight text wrap dropped to 0mm bottom, this still happens. I have the same situation on another page where it is being pushed left. Of course, I could just remove a page number on that page, but I want to know if there is a way to stop master page elements being pushed by images. This is extra important where I have art elements what need a text wrap, that may also touch the page headers, which need to stay in line. Thanks! Shep

This is really helpful! I'd overlooked that functionality! Thanks.

Thanks for this - currently I'm feeling the same about it. The lack of style syncing between chapters is going to be an annoyance when starting a new project, but I do think overall that this approach is going to make my transition between platforms feel smoother.

Hi all, I'm Shep and a long-time user of Adobe CS6, currently in the process of migrating myself over to Photo and Publisher. I work in the tabletop RPG industry as a writer and do book layout for RPG book content. InDesign CS6 has been my life for a long time, so making the move (especially mid-book layout) is proving daunting. I'm very happy to be here though and excited to get fully up to speed on Affinity!

Hi all, I'm 'almost' a convert - currently migrating from Adobe Photoshop and InDesign to Publisher and Photo. It's been a long time coming and I'm glad to be here! I wondered if any existing users could offer me some advice? I do layout on RPG rulebooks - typically 200-400 page US letter full colour books. 200,000+ words and hundreds of images of all different shapes, sizes and placement. In InDesign, I got used to working in chapters and using the 'Book' function to organise them. The primary reason I worked this way was that if I was tweaking and art piece in the book and that caused a line of text or other element to get nudged over a page, it was fairly easy to remedy - I was only ever dealing with an eco system of around 30 pages. Additionally, books like this rarely get finished and ready for layout in chapter order and the amount of content per chapter can ebb and flow - I might need to lay out chapter 7 first, then 3, then 6 etc... and the number of pages in those chapters may change mid project - maybe 2 pages will get cut from this chapter and added to that one. I know the book organisation functionality isn't a part of Publisher and so far I've found two possible solutions. I wondered if anyone could suggest which is likely to be the best work flow long term, or suggest other alternatives that I may not have yet stumbled on... 1. Create each chapter as a different Publisher file, importing/setting up the same set of master pages for each. This effectively recreates what I did in InDesign, but prevents me from easily bouncing between them or syncing styles via the book. For the current 288 page book I'm finishing up, this isn't an issue as the styles are solidly nailed down, but going forwards this could be a pain over 12 or so chapters. When the book is finished and ready to print, I can use the 'Add Pages From File' function to combine all the files one by one into a single document. 2. Create as a single 288 page document, but unlink the text flow/master page on the last page of each chapter, preventing anything from nudging from one chapter into the next one, effectively recreating the isolated chapter concept. After working in any given chapter, I'd need to sense check the last page to ensure nothing has been bumped over the edges so to speak. The bite-sized chunks of option 1 is the most familiar to me and what I'm drawn to, but the reduced admin of set up and future style editing of option 2 is obviously superior. I appreciate any thoughts and feedback you all might have on this. Regards, Shep
