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

I'm unable to delete a page by pressing the Delete key so I can't duplicate this issue. Are you using the Delete key on a normal keyboard (which is really Backspace) or the Forward Delete key on an extended keyboard? I don't have an extended keyboard handy for testing.

@Michael Mooney Serif may need to see your document to know if this is the same issue or a new one. Are you able to share it?

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. Cheers test.afpub

@Pyanepsion I agree with you, I was just stating which options are available. IMO Quark handles it better than InDesign but neither is a model –– users shouldn't have to create their own kerning pairs or use GREP styles. There should be one or more toggles for this.

FWIW I can't duplicate this on macOS so it's probably specific to Windows.

@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.

There's an intermittent issue with downloading large files on this forum. Try with another browser or try again later. There's nothing else we can do about it.

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

Increasing the bleed value will trigger preflight warnings because it will be more likely that your objects won't extend to at least the edge of the Bleed Zone. You can customize Preflight's Safe Zone Edge setting for Bleed Hazard - this is how I described it in my manual.

You're welcome. I don't plan on doing that but I do hope to add descriptions of the vector features to this manual. Eventually, this manual could encompass many of the features of Designer, too.

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.

Do you mean the multiple section symbols (§) for example around the world null? I assume there are some duplicate text frames there, perhaps left from the page shifting. I suggest examining the layers using the Layers panel and seeing which layers you don't need and which can be deleted. Good luck.

Yes, it's the same issue. Ensure you define all the attributes for the note paragraph style. For example, if you set Italics to Off instead of No Change then it won't pick up italics that you were using before creating the note.
