  1. Thanks for posting this. I was beginning to think I was the only person on this forum using AP to format a paperback novel. I'm an indie author. My only trips to Vegas have been for the 20Books Conferences. Good luck with all your endeavours. (Outside of books I use Canuck spelling) Maaja
  2. Yes, thanks. I did as you suggested, but it didn't apply to all the paragraphs. Sometimes you click a style on a paragraph and it doesn't take right away. It's looking much better now as I go through and check it bit-by-bit. I appreciate all your tips!
  3. Hey, thanks! You can hypenate a word in kids' chapter books, but what I need to do is left-justify one-word, two-word, and three-word lines either at the end of a paragraph or if they appear on their own. If it can't be done with an automatic setting, I can do it by hand. (I tried to do it by hand, but when I highlight text+ left justify = it automatically applies it to the whole paragraph, instead of the one line I highlighted). I'm a noob, so I'm hoping there is an easy fix I just don't know. Thanks for your help. Do you know if there is a way to select the last 2-3 lines of text in a paragraph and make then left justify?
  4. That is correct in the image. I've fixed that problem now. I still have this problem: I did figure out how to justify right and left but have the dangling final word of the paragraph justify to the left. The next step is to get rid of the blank spaces on lines with 2-3 words on them. Do you have any suggestions for settings (maybe in "flow") to prevent having lines of less than three words?
  5. I bought Affinity Publisher to typeset novels to a sellable (professional) standard. Right now I'm looking for tips on getting justified right and left margins to work. (Go easy on me if I haven't used precisely the right terminology. I'm not an industry professional typesetter. I'm a novelist who bought this software for indie publishing). Right now, I am preparing a children's chapter book for publication. The large font (13 pt) required for easy-to-read books comes with its own challenges. Right and left margins need to be justified. Any help I can get typesetting my book with justified margins (without gaping spaces in the middle of lines) is appreciated.
