MikeTO reacted to a post in a topic: Publisher – crash when deleting a page with page reflow disabled

That's odd. Even if I revert my keyboard shortcuts to Serif defaults I can't duplicate this. I also tried enabling Metal in case it was one of those Metal-related issues. Pressing Delete should not delete the page selected in the Pages panel (and so it shouldn't crash), it should delete the object selected in the document. Could you try drawing a shape on page 3 and then selecting page 3 in the panel and pressing Delete? For Serif, there is something odd which is probably related to this crash: Create a document with 5 pages - it doesn't matter if it's facing or not but I'm using facing pages for this example Select page 4, 5, or 4-5 which are in the last spread Press the Delete key - there isn't a selected object so nothing should happen, and indeed nothing is logged in the History panel, but the blue selection rectangle shifts to page 3 which shouldn't happen

Table of Contents formatting
MikeTO replied to JohnPio's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
There is an easy way to do this. You can set paragraph numbering for the TOC entries to use the prefix "Chapter " rather than an actual number. Position the text cursor in the table of contents Edit the TOC 1: Heading 1 style Set Bullets & Numbering > Type to numbered (1, 2, 3, 4...) Set Text to "Chapter " (with a trailing space) Adjust left indent, first line indent, and the tab stops as required Click OK I've attached a sample document showing how to do this.

@Oufti AutoCorrect is being triggered twice. Once by typing a punctuation character and once by typing a space character. I don't think this is a bug, it should be triggered by the space, but it is unfortunately going to prevent this approach from being used. @Pyanepsion In older apps like QuarkXpress you can create custom kerning pairs. If you wanted space before ! then you'd create kerning pairs for each letter followed by ! Defining custom kerning pairs for specific fonts used to be a common feature in page layout apps because there were so many low quality fonts in the 1990s. It's uncommon now but it would be the ideal solution for your dilemma. I believe InDesign use GREP styles for this because InDesign also lacks this feature. Given Affinity doesn't offer custom kerning pairs or GREP styles, I suggest editing the font and padding those punctuation characters with extra space. If you're unable to do this then you might have to use Find and Replace to format the document manually.

Publisher 2: Spell checking
MikeTO replied to BergWanderer's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Affinity doesn't have a feature to create a custom hyphenation dictionary. It's something a lot of people have asked for. Personally, I don't like 2 letters before or after a hyphen so I set minimum prefix and suffix to 3 which would avoid the lack of hyphenation customization for words this short. -

Those remaining bleed warnings might be real but due to rounding. You might set bleed to X and have an object that appears to be at X but due to slight rounding not visible in the Transform panel (due to your settings), the object might be a tiny bit inside the bleed and thus trigger the warning. Other users have encountered this issue. So check those objects and set their coordinates again or give them a tiny nudge. Good luck

Linking Text Frames to Newly Added Pages
MikeTO replied to snackdaddygaming's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
The only way to do that is the way MEB described, by using AutoFlow to create the pages for you. Spreads that you create on your own will not be linked together.
