The 'Decorations' function seems to be automated. When I erase one line from the beginning of a paragraph, the line moves to the beginning of the next paragraph. And when I erase this new line, the line moves to the next paragraph and this continues until the end of the chapter. How do I turn off this feature completely?

Why does Affinity Publisher draw a straight line above the first text line of the pages? I exported the book layout and this problem is on almost every page where the sentence starts at the beginning of the page.

Hi Jon, I uploaded the file to your folder. From where I can get the latest beta version?

I purchased Affinity Publisher (1.8.5.703) from Affiny's homesite two weeks ago. I have Win10. This is the first time I am using this software. I started to make a book but the software froze all the time. I have not found a reason for this. All went well till page 17 or so. Then I had an overflow problem with text, but I solved it by cleaning a few pages and pasted the text again and all looked fine. But soon this problem came back. I have turned off my computer many times, but no effect. I am not using special fonts (I am using Book Antiqua, Bernard MT Condensed, Arial). On Master Pages I only have page numbers. Once I pasted text to an empty page (I forgot to create the Text Frame box first) and immediately the Publisher crashed and was unstable for a long time. This is frustrating. There is no logic when the Publisher freezes, as it happens all the time, especially if I paste longer text to the text frame, or if I edit the text frame when text inside. I have continued despite the problems, and the book is almost ready. But suddenly nothing works and I think the Publisher broke the .afpub file today and I can't open the book layout at all. It offered a Recovery version, but this version contained many empty pages. Next time I clicked 'no' to Recovery, after that the Publisher tried to load the book, but nothing happened. I have tried this many times. Yesterday I made a backup of the .afpub -file and it opens correctly, but I hope that I can return to the latest book layout I finished today. (I press "control + s" after each text block or image I paste/edit, but I don't know from where to find them, if the Publisher saves these versions.) Best, Petri
