2021 and I've ran into this issue. Need to change the opacity on all text boxes across 3 magazine issues. Can't copy and paste style as it seems to copy the text formats too and they differ.

I rebooted my computer the last time I went through this and it didn't change anything. It's only particular files that it happens with. The last time it happened was also when I copied something from another open file.

Hi Ulysses, I alternate between saving on the cloud and saving on the desktop (MacBook Pro). I'm actually receiving a new error now that where it's claiming my file is already opened somewhere. Tried restarting but the problem persists.

EDIT: The previous save file is also corrupted somehow. So it's setting me back hours.

So I posted in December when I was working on a magazine and my file became corrupted. It's happened again on the next issue. I don't know what to do but I'm on a deadline and can't deal with these kinds od problems anymore. The last thing I did was copy and paste some text boxes/images from another issue and then try to replace an image. I'm saving multiple times regularly now but it still sets me back and costs me money.

Thanks for the ideas gents. I managed to push the deadline back by finishing the other issues first (I work on 3 magazine issues at a time) and will redo this one from the beginning. Thomaso, It was from 'add from file'. The file the that I took the pages from works fine, if this is what caused the issue. I'm now adding the shift key to that cmd-s to make sure I have several save files. Firstdefence, thanks for that mate, I think that would have worked if I'd done it straight away. Unfortunately I was working on a few documents at the same time which would have overwritten the file. I' definitely remember that for next time.

Thanks for the advice Thomaso. Unfortunately I don't have Time Machine as I move around a lot and don't carry an external hard drive, I thought iCloud was a safe option to be honest. I save everything to iCloud but the save file is corrupted too. The only option I have is to restart I think. I'm not sure what you mean by a private upload link to be honest but you're correct that I wouldn't be able to publicly share it. Thanks again.

Hi, I'm hours into a magazine layout in Publisher, with a tight deadline and suddenly my document file is corrupted and closes every time I open it. I'm hoping this can be fixed otherwise I'm going to be working xmas day to do the whole document again which I really don't want to be doing. This happened whilst I was working on the document, I had just copied pages from another Affinity document to this one and a few seconds later I get this error. I'm running a MacBook Pro 13" 2017 with Affinity Publisher 1.8.6. Error message attached. Thanks in advance for anyone that can help. Shaun
