Uninstalled all and reinstalled. Problems solved. Thanks very much to all who provided suggestions. This Forum is a great resource.

Rpsenda, Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I have restarted, shut it down completely and signed baci in (to my computer), and the next day restarted again. No help. Thanks again for trying to solve my problem.

The .afphoto is on the L drive? I'll unplug the L drive and try again, but in looking at my L drive, I don't see .afphoto there. The extension is attached to the Flag image that I was working on, but I don't see the app there. But I am by no means an expert in file management, not even close. Do you think that simply saving an image to a thumb drive could cause these problems? OK, I unplugged the L drive, which is a thumb drive, and went through the process again, by attempting to edit images that are on my C drive. Same results. And Publisher still won't open. I'm trying to write a program for a non-profit here in town, but without the word wrap function, it's going to be difficult. Any other ideas? THANKS!

Hi Old Bruce, and thanks for the help. I always use File>Edit in Designer. And when I'm in Designer and attempt to edit in photo, I get the screenshot attached. In addition, as you can see from the taskbar, Publisher won't open at all. Head scratcher.

I am running Windows 10, updated, and Affinity 2.4.2. All Personas were updated a few weeks ago, and things worked well. Now, however, while working on a project, I cannot switch from Photo to Designer (and vice versa). A new problem popped up just the other day: unable to open Publisher at all. The Publisher icon on my taskbar is smaller than before, perhaps that's a clue to what's going on. I purchased the original Affinity suite from Serif, as well as all upgrades (including V2). Would it be best, or simpler, to delete and reinstall? (I have my version 2 License key). Would that fix these problems? Or is that even possible? I don't even know where these apps are located on my computer anymore. If I can find the executables, must I delete the programs and purchase them again? Attached are screenshots of the taskbar, an open Photo editing screen, and the error message I get when trying to switch from Photo to Designer. Thanks for all help.

Thank you for responding, DWright. I appreciate it. I purchased the original Suite from Serif, or Affinity. I have installed all updates since then. I also purchased the 2.0 version from them directly. The current version that I have on my desktop for all three personas is 2.4.1.2344. I am running MS Windows 10. I don't know whether I have the "MSIX" or "EXE" version of the apps. Could you tell me where/how I could find out? Again, I purchased the suite directly from Affinity. Thank you again for your help on this. I have used the suite for years without a problem, then all of a sudden this problem popped up. I THINK it may have happened after I purchased the upgrade, but I'm not 100% sure. I am a hobbyist and use this just for creating announcements, etc. for a local non-profit. Phil Pearce

I get error messages. See attached. This problem exists whether I'm using Publisher, Designer, or Photo. It started around the time I updated to Version 2.0.

Thanks to all. I'll try it tomorrow. I just can't get it. I think maybe I don't know all of the language you are using, and I guess I'm at a below novice level.🤪 My head hurts, I'm going to bed. But I really appreciate the help.

Thanks to all who responded.

Walt, I am writing a paper in Affinity Publisher. I create a text frame. I am single spacing and justifying. I enable the "Justify Left" button at the top, which to my understanding justifies everything but the last line.I get to the end of what I call a paragraph (a group of sentences pertaining to a related theme, subject, thought, etc. which is subordinate to the total content of the paper). I want to start a new paragraph but without skipping a line. The last sentence of my paragraph only contains a few words. I don't want those few words to be fully justified. How can I do that? Thanks for your patience.

Walt, please explain. Yes, those lines LOOK like they are at the end of a paragraph. Am I in a parallel universe or something? LOL It's the last line of what I was always taught was a paragraph. But unfortunately, I went to a Government school. Maybe that's the problem.

This doesn't work for me, or maybe I'm misunderstanding. Anyway, I appreciate that you tried to help me. I'll try to figure out a workaround.

By the way, what an excellent job you've done with the Publisher Users Manual! THANK YOU.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I used a "clipping" utility to clip the section of the desired section of the screen I wish to clip, or the entire screen, then save it to a folder. Then "Choose files" and go to the folder. etc. But I'd kind of like to focus on my problem at hand, namely, a solution to the problem I'm having with the last line of the paragraph being fully justified. I have read Alfred's and Walt's ruminations, and I agree that forcing a new paragraph may be the issue. Is it not possible to left justify the last line of a forced paragraph?

And here is a shot of the entire screen. Left Justify button is activated.
