My mistake, I know you wrote column guides and I even wrote that in my response but I was thinking about regular guides. For column guides, the popup sliders on macOS max out at 32 guides for me but I can enter any value into the text field. For example, I entered 1234567890 which worked fine and a saved document re-opened with this many guides, although the guides were too dense to see. Few text fields in Affinity have any limits applied to them. Does it work differently on Windows? For regular horizontal and vertical guides, I found a maximum of 105 when I tested it last year. That was a bit more tedious to test.

Yes, by editing the page detached. Choose Layer > Master Page > Edit Detached. if you have multiple masters applied to a page, you should instead right-click the master page name in the Layers panel and choose it from there so that you're editing the right master page. Click Finish when you're done editing the master page. Note that this only edits the copy of the master objects on this page, not on other pages. Cheers

Affinity 2 does not open the document, it keeps loading
MikeTO replied to Yulian David's topic in V2 Bugs found on macOS
Did you just upgrade to Sonoma by any chance? There is an issue with iCloud and Sonoma, files need to fully download before they can open in Affinity. Sonoma needs to do some syncing when first installed. Some users encountered this, it took an hour or two to open a document but then once it was done it worked fine from then on. So if you just upgraded, let it sit for a few hours until Sonoma and Affinity are happy together. If you didn't just upgrade to Sonoma, then I'm unsure what the issue is. Are there any linked resources?- 5 replies

Hi @yoyesiku and welcome to the forums. Possibly Help opened behind the app window so try dragging the main app window around to see if it's lurking there. If not, I don't know the answer and somebody else will have to assist. But in the meantime, you can view the help through the website (which is generally easier to use) through https://affinity.help. Cheers

@macrobb Publisher doesn't have a feature to change all the text formatted in one style to another, but you can do this easily enough with Find and Replace after importing the text. Choose Edit > Find Click the Gear icon beside Find and then select the style name to change from - you can select a paragraph or character style Click the Gear icon beside Replace and select the style name to change to Click the Find button Click the Replace All button Do this for each of the styles you want to change. Cheers

Old Publisher - new pc
MikeTO replied to Anders A's topic in Customer Service, Accounts and Purchasing
Hi. If you bought it from Serif directly, you can download it by signing into your account at Serif.com. If you bought it from the Apple or Microsoft App Store, you can download it by going back to the App Store and looking in the purchased apps section. Cheers -
Hi Bob, the caption is disappearing sometimes because you have baseline grid turned on for this document (which is a good idea) but when the image is positioned so that the caption doesn't align to the baseline grid, the caption text won't fit in its frame. In this screenshot with the baseline grid visible, you can see the caption's frame offset from the grid. Publisher is trying to fit the text to the baseline below the frame. You could solve this by turning on snapping for the baseline grid (in View > Snapping) and aligning the caption frame to the grid. Alternatively, you could select the caption frame layer and turn off Paragraph > Baseline Grid > Align to Baseline Grid. Cheers

Formatting an index
MikeTO replied to Hilltop's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
To create an index with bold entries and not-bold numbers: If you edited the index styles and added initial words, undo that because that will be confusing. Update the index so there is no overriding formatting. Edit the "Index Entry 1" paragraph style and make it Bold. Edit the "Index Entry Page Number" character style and make it not bold (normal, regular...) Cheers -

Oops. But yes, for the index, it's the same principle and works fine. Just edit the "Index Entry Page Number" character style. -
In-line columns in Publisher
MikeTO replied to JCEyre's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Unfortunately, this is not currently possible in Publisher. In a page layout application, this feature is known as Split and Span Columns. It's a frequently requested feature. Word just uses breaks because it has a single main story flow but with a page layout app, you format a paragraph so that it would span multiple columns in the frame or wrap within the column, as if there were virtual columns. -
I believe this is by design and not a bug. If there's no default value for Distance From Text then the object will touch the text as shown below and most users wouldn't want the object to touch. I find the current 1mm or 0p3 in picas to be useful. I agree that the Lock icon should default to on. Those icons are always on when I think they should be off and off when I think they should be on. 🙂 But here's a bug with this dialog, I just noticed that Text Wrap has a focus issue. With the studios opened and Layers panel docked, enter a value into Text Wrap's Left field and press Tab. The Right field should have focus but it doesn't, focus isn't in a text field and keystrokes are passed to the main document window (typing a number will change Opacity in Layers). Press Tab again and Left will have focus again. Press it again to move to Right. Enter a value and press Tab. Now press Tab twice more to move to the Top field. Tedious. 0.042 in
