[Text on Circle at top outer, bottom inner]

1 hour ago, PaulEC said:

Press Enter to get the second row of text. Use the green and red triangles to adjust the start and finish positions of the text. Select the line of text you want to adjust. In the Context Toolbar there are controls to reverse the text, if you need to, and to adjust the baseline of the text. (i.e. inside or outside of the circle.)

Thanks. So pressing Enter gives me another set of the green and red triangles? Cool. 

[Text on Circle at top outer, bottom inner]

I'm using the Affinity suite V 2.6.2.  In Photo, I want to create text on the outside of a circle at the top, and on the inside of a circle at the bottom. I created a circle, converted to curves, and typed some text at the top, no problem.  But now how do I type text on the bottom of that circle but on the inside of the circle?

Shucky Darn!

Oh well, thank you for letting me know. Scaling looks like the only way in Windows 11, and they don't recommend that.

So I'll just continue squinting.

[CHANGING SYSTEM FONT AND ICON SIZE]

Windows 11 PC, Affinity V2. How can I make the system (UI) fonts and icons larger within the 3 programs?

Thanks, I looked in the forums and couldn't find an answer. It must be easy but I can't figure out how to do it.

[Changing Text Size within Panels]

@Oufti, I think the OP may be talking about items like Tab Stops, Justification, Flow Options, etc. that are too large in the panel itself, not text in the document.

You are correct, I was asking about the titles of the various drop down menus within the panels. This may be a browser or OS function, but I cannot figure out how to make them smaller. You can see how the lower half of the letters are partially obscured, or seem masked, because the text size is too large. Anyone have a solution to this problem?

Thanks to the responses.

[Changing Text Size within Panels]

How can I do this? The titles are too large and don't fit.

Thanks.

[Justify all and last line of paragraphs]

I experienced this issue too - I was using Shift Tab instead of Return at the end of the line. I did correct this, and still could not justify All for the paragraph and then justify left the last line.

The solution that worked for me was to create a text style - this gives you the following options under Paragraph > Spacing:

• Alignment - Justified Last Line Left
• Space After - 0pt

 

Thank you!

[Cannot switch Personas from Photo to Designer; cannot open Publisher]

Uninstalled all and reinstalled. Problems solved. 

Thanks very much to all who provided suggestions. This Forum is a great resource.

[Cannot switch Personas from Photo to Designer; cannot open Publisher]

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.

[Cannot switch Personas from Photo to Designer; cannot open Publisher]

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!

[Cannot switch Personas from Photo to Designer; cannot open Publisher]

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.

[Cannot switch Personas from Photo to Designer; cannot open Publisher]

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.

[Affinity won't let me edit in another persona]

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.

[Affinity won't let me edit in another persona]

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.

 

[Justify all and last line of paragraphs]

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.

[Justify all and last line of paragraphs]

Thanks to all who responded.

[Justify all and last line of paragraphs]

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.

You probably are using Line Breaks (Shift+Enter) rather than Paragraph Breaks (Enter) after each of those lines you think are end of paragraph. If so, they aren't. They're in the middle of the paragraph.

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.

When you select the entire frame with the Move tool, the button's icon will reflect the first paragraph and not necessarily all of the paragraphs. With the frame selected, try clicking the button again. If the is the issue that should fix it.

Good luck.

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.

[Justify all and last line of paragraphs]

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

[Justify all and last line of paragraphs]

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?

[Justify all and last line of paragraphs]

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

[Justify all and last line of paragraphs]

Sure. I am using V2.4.0. Windows version doesn't allow Sharing. Attached is a clip of the document.

[Justify all and last line of paragraphs]

GeoffersB, when I use "Justify Left", it fully justifies everything in the paragraph including the last line (which formatting I don't want). 

[Change guide colour]

Ash, all of these new features are very good and useful. Congratulations to you and the Team for consistently listening and innovating.

Would it be possible in the Guides Manager to change (increase/decrease) the width of the Guides, either globally or locally?

Thanks again for all you do.
