  1. Usually when I'm doing editing/proofreading, I use MS Word because of the Track Changes feature, which highlights every change I make within the document. The History Panel records all the changes I make and I just realized I can toggle the 'Save History with Document' so that the History panel doesn't refresh every time I shut the document. What I'm wondering is - is there a way to somehow show the client all the changes made in the History Panel in sort of like a separate document or addendum to the finish file, if I export it as a PDF? Can I export the History panel's contents somehow as well? I'm currently doing a proofread after the layout and I don't want to do the proofread in the client's original Word document, because it will force me to redo all the work of laying it out again. If I can show all the changes that were made to the document after I've finished editing it, it would make things a whole lot easier.
  2. Thanks for the suggestion, @Oufti! And the simplified file to illustrate. Yes I used the suggestion and created a dummy Artistic text frame with the Heading 1 applied, which allows the entry in the ToC, and then turned the Visibility off to hide it.
  3. Hi Guys! I'm laying out a book for one of my clients where in his original document the Endnotes are shown in the Table of Contents. Using v2 Endnotes in the Notes window, I used Heading 1 as the Title Style. I created the Endnotes and then dragged the pages into the correct position in the document, as the reference document has other headings after Endnotes. I'm trying to get the Endnotes title to show up in the TOC but for some reason it isn't showing up (Should be after Recommendations) I am unable to manipulate the title except through the Title Style in the Notes window, but even although it's set at Heading 1 the ToC doesn't recognize it. I've attached the Publisher file for context. What am I missing? Thanks! Godly Husband BKP.afpub
  4. Hi guys! Just a quick question - with the new Footnotes feature in v2, I seem to manually have to set the serialization every time I use Footnotes so that the numbering does not restart every frame. I'd love it to be set to start at 1 and never restart (restart every Document, in my case.) Is there a way to set this as default anywhere? Otherwise I'd have to remember to turn on the Notes panel and manually switch it from Restart Every Frame, which seems to be the default.
  5. Thanks for that. I'll see if I can get the original files. And I'll keep trying to follow the video so I can practice the technique on my own.
  6. I totally agree. I'm asking if I can get the source material, but I'm asking for my own knowledge so I can learn a new skill. I've spend thousands of hours on Affinity Publisher, but I don't use Photo or Designer much. I'm also trying to be ready just in case the person who did them doesn't want to give up the source documents or fix the error himself. The client came to me; I've already recommended they reach out to the original designer once I identified the issue.
  7. 26 in total. In some of the instances I don't have a flat colour underneath; it's a children's book so some of the characters or background might be off if I cut and paste the background ... I'm new to using Photo so I'm trying to follow the video.
  8. Forgive me if this is the wrong forum for this question. I have been given a flat PDF file to upload my client's book onto Amazon's KDP, but the person who designed the pages has the page numbers too low down - Amazon paperbacks have their pages fitting specific technical specifications, and the page number is exactly on the line where the margin is, so KDP won't accept the document for publication. I am trying to use Photo to select the small elliptical image that contains the page number and I just want to slide it up a centimeter or two... but not sure how to do it. I have done some research but it seems like it's not as easy as a simple select-cut-copy-paste. I've attached one of the pages. The page number just needs to come up a smidge. How can I do that without having the original file that has the layers?
  9. Thanks! I went straight to the "Bullets and Numbering" section of the Paragraph tab; that's why it didn't do what I wanted ... but I got it! Thanks!
  10. Hi guys - this may be pretty easy but ... I've created bullet points for the blurb on my book cover, but I can't get them nice and indented on the second page. How do I achieve this? This template that I'm using doesn't have the saved text styles that govern bulleted lists, so I have to create it myself. I want the second line in bullet 3 to match the indent on line 1. Help!
  11. Thank you for this. I will try again. It crashed when I tried to link the text boxes together in the master page. However, I'll see what happens this time. It has worked! Thank you guys!
  12. Thank you for this. I will try again. It crashed when I tried to link the text boxes together in the master page. However, I'll see what happens this time.
  13. Ok thanks for those websites. I have the words for the page numbers. (Thankfully only 180 - sorry One Hundred and Eighty). @Old Brucedo I put the text frames that are linked into the Master Page? I tried it and my Publisher crashed. (I have everything backed up just in case this time;)
