In Affinity Publisher, under Paragraph > Bullets and Numbering, the user can select from a drop-down of list types provided by Affinity. As a user, I'd like to be able to add my own list types to this list, and customize/tweak the ones that are already there.

Thank you!

If I wanted to be able to do that, what’s the most effective way to ask for it?

In Paragraph > Bullets and Numbering, you can see a list of provided "Types" that you can use for your list. Is it possible to add to / adjust this list, to create your own list types?

Walt, your expertise is always appreciated. Thanks for the swift and helpful reply!

Affinity Publisher v2. I have a series of Anchors I'm using as PDF bookmarks. Most of them are ordered just fine, except for the last two. The one on page 63 appears earlier than the one on page 62. PDF attached; afpub in reply. last_rites.pdf

WHOOPS! That'll teach me to copy-paste my big weird text without resetting the outline. Thank you both!

Hello! I have a gap between lines in a paragraph and I cannot for the life of me figure out where it's coming from. I've attached the offending afpub with this page isolated. Any ideas? devils_bargain_D100.afpub

I think I did somehow have some overlap going on, as I found files for all related typefaces in the Windows and Users font folders. I've purged both as you described, and installed the fonts over again (from the publisher this time) and all seems well so far - hopefully this will stand the test of time. Thanks a ton for your help!

Thank you, I'll give it a look!

Hello friends, I'm running into a really vexing issue: I'm exporting a document to pdf from Publisher and certain fonts or styles of font will periodically be corrupted on export-despite showing up perfectly fine in the document. This is the third or fourth time I've run into this issue, with varying issues. I typically solve it in the short term by re-installing the font, but the problem keeps coming back in some new form or another. Here's the in-publisher version vs what gets exported: I've attached the exported pdf and the publisher file to this post. The relevant font family is here, if someone wants to give it a try. I'd be grateful for any advice or assistance! fathom_skills.pdf fathom_skills.afpub

Thanks, Kevin. Fingers crossed!

Hello! I have a couple of requests that I think would really improve the Anchor window: I'd really really like to be able to choose to be able to view the top-level anchors in order of page appearance rather than alphabetical. That way I can make sure that everything lines up the way that I would expect it to in a PDF bookmark sidebar before I export. There's currently no way to remove an Anchor from its "parent" other than by dragging it to the free space at the bottom of the panel. As someone who often has dozens of Anchors in a document, this can be really unwieldy. I would really like to be able to do something quick and easy to separate an Anchor from its parent, like right-click > Remove from Parent (while preserving the hierarchy UNDER that Anchor). This last one might be more of a bug fix than a feature request, but - when you add an anchor to another as a child (by dragging the child to the would-be parent), the ENTIRE hierarchy of anchors expand out. It would be great if this did not happen, or if there was an option to not make it happen. I'm not positive what the use-case is for this happening deliberately but I'm open to the idea that someone might want it! Thank you!

Thank you very much!

Hello and thank you! 1) That's from me hitting delete. 2) The characters preceding this spot are line breaks. Here's that exact page (and only that page) from the document, attached to this post. Forgive the large filesize. I appreciate the help!! delete_error.afpub

Here's a video of the issue as it happens: 2023-03-05 13-08-33.mkv

Using Publisher 2.0.4 on Windows 10. Within linked text frames, hitting "Backspace" will cycle formatting of the text that FOLLOWS the cursor, then clear it entirely, before finally letting me actually use Backspace to delete breaks that precede the cursor.

Thank you very much!!

Hello! I'm wondering about functionality that may or may not exist. If it does exist, it would expediate matters for me, so I figured I'd ask after it - I have a number of sections where I have a "heading" text style and then a "body" text style to follow immediately after. Is there anyway to tell the first text style, "the following paragraph should automatically use the 'body' text style"? Allowing me to apply both text styles at once, rather than one at a time? A silly thing, I'm sure, but it would be legitimately useful in my use case. Thanks for any insight folks can provide!

Hello! I'm working in Affinity Publisher for Windows and I'm experiencing a weird issue every time I create a table: it assigns a character text style to every cell in the table and refuses to let me change what style is applied unless I go in and manually change it for every cell in the table. This is especially a pain since the character style it's selected uses a bright white font face (it's intended for sidebars that use a dark backdrop.) I can't find anywhere in the table formats where this character is assigned, and drag-selecting the entire table's cells to try and correct every cell at once does not work. Does anyone know how or why this might be happening, and what steps I could do to try and solve it?

Microscopic! I thought for sure I'd cleaned anything like that up, but there it is, plain as day. Thank you for your diligence!

No worries! Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time with it. I have to imagine they're being created in-error if they only show up in the exported product. At least, I hope so!

You know what, I don't know why I didn't hit on this solution before, but I fixed it - I simply changed the base image's whitespace to be transparent, instead of white. Problem solved! Thanks again for all the help!!

Can you give me a little more detail on what you mean by filling the transparent edges with white? I've used the levels + brush to make sure there's white on the borders of these images, and that they're RGB, but they still seem to be producing the hairline...
