Hi Walt, You were spot on! It has a layer on it. The original text was imported from Adobe inDesign and for some reason this particular section was imported as a new layer. I'll read up on how to get everything on the same layer. Thank you for your help!

Hi Walt, I'e attached two screen shots. One shows the red text frames, the second shows the transition from a red to blue text from on succeeding pages. There is no eye that indicates overflow text. The frame remains red even after I select it. This anomaly only happens in one section of my document. Thanks for your help.

I am working on a document that includes both text and photographs. In one section there are text frames that are red and then change to blue. My understanding is that the red frames indicate concealed overflowing text, and that there should be an indication of where the overflowing text is located. I can't find it. I have lengthened the frames to see if that changes the text frame to blue but am not successful. Is there a way to pinpoint the source of the problem so I can fix it? The text content all looks fine, but the red outline indicates there is a problem. Thanks!

Last year using Affinity Publisher version 1 I developed a lengthy cookbook based on sections. Version 2 of Publisher allows the creation of books using individual chapters that can be compiled into a single Publisher document and that can be easily rearranged by dragging and dropping. I am frequently adding new content to the cookbook. Would it be better to reformat my book using individual chapters versus individual sections? It would take some effort but I am wondering if there would be long term advantages to converting to a book with chapters. Thanks!

Thank you. I don't know how I missed this.

When I open my document a pop-up window indicates that I am missing a link to a photo file, in this case labeled as IMG_2016. There is no indication where in the Publisher file this is, and when I use the "find" tool to locate this file nothing shows up. Is there a way for Affinity Publish to locate the placement of the missing image in my document? That way I'd have a clue as to what I need to re-link. I feel like I am searching for a needle in a haystack. My search would be easier if I had given the image a more descriptive name before attaching it.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

I can't figure out how to correct the perspective of a jpeg file. I have tried using the perspective tool but when I elect "apply" nothing happens. When I click the perspective tool I don't see any of the dashed guidelines that show up in You Tube videos. How can I turn a parallelogram shape back into a rectangle?

Mr. Fixx: Thank you. Changing the dpi reduced the PDF file size to about 75 MB, and the quality of the PDF still looks fine to me. I appreciate your reply.

In a previous post I noted that exporting my completed 32 MB Affinity Publisher file resulted in a 320 MB PDF. That size eats up a lot of space on a tablet. What if Affinity Publisher could save files as uneditable .afpub files, and then offered an Affinity Publisher Reader for free or at little cost? That cost could be incorporated into the cost of the publication or could be free as a means to increase sales of Affinity publisher software.

I completed my Affinity Publisher book and it is approximately 32 MB. I should have read the software's limitations sooner, but I now realize that the only outputs are either printing the document or exporting it as a PDF, no e-book per se. When I export to a PDF for use an an iPad or other device, the PDF size is approximately 320 MB. I was surprised by the dramatic ten-fold increase in size. Is there a way to export the file so that it maintains what I would consider a reasonable file size so it can be saved an a tablet and not use up so much storage?

I created a cookbook that is divided into several chapters and individual recipes. I created specific styles for the chapter and recipe titles. I need to create and index and table of contents. When I read Affinity's instructions, it indicates (I think) that I need to create the index using a specific index style that I should have used while creating my document. Is it possible to create and index and table of contents using the existing style I defined as "Recipe Title" and "Chapter Title", or do I need to go back into my document and retype all of the receipt titles using a new Recipe Title style defined while working with the Index tool? I hope my question makes sense.

I imported .IDML documents into Affinity Publisher. I would like to re-order the sequence of the imported paragraph and text styles to match the sequence of how they are applied in my document. As they are currently listed I need to scroll up and down the lists to find the appropriate style. Is it possible to change the order in which styles are listed and if yes, how is it done? Thank you.

When I still used Adobe Photoshop, Silverfast had a plug-in that would allow me to open Photoshop and select “import image” using Silverfast. I wasn’t able to do this with Affinity Photo. When you say you are using Silverfast to scan images for use in Affinity Photo, are you using the Silverfast application to scan the images and save them as tiffs that you later open with Affinity Photo, or is does the Silverfast plug-in for Photoshop now work with Affinity Photo? If the latter is true, how do I get Affinity to recognize the Silverfast plug-in?
