[Problem creating custom brush]

@lepr and @GnobelixThank you. Appreciate your help. I'll try these out.

[Problem creating custom brush]

I'm struggling creating a custom brush. I'm missing something but I can't work out what. See the attached image. I've created a shape (circled in red) which might be described as a 'square comma'. I want to use this as the basis for creating a line with 'hanging tails'. I can import it as a .PNG and create a brush but I only get the tails. The image shows the brush settings and an output line. I can clearly see the 'square comma' in the brush settings but this does not seem to be reflected in the line. (Scratches head). I've persisted with this for a couple of hours with no joy. Any suggestions.

[How can I save gradients to swatch?]

I really struggled with saving a gradient. Then I wondered if it was because of the nature of the palette - you can save a palette as an 'Application', 'Document' or 'System'. When I stopped trying to save the gradient to a 'System' palette and saved to an 'Application' palette it worked fine.

@Old BruceHi Bruce. Rereading your original advice I realise you proposed the same solution as Dan C. So it wasn't a work around as I thought I just didn't 'get it'. So apologies and thank you.

@R C-RHi R C-R. It may be that your problem is the right indent (not the last line outdent) is set to 0. These are the settings I used to create this test Text Frame.

@Dan C. And if you ste the right most tab to a distance for the right hand border you can resize the text frame without having to move the tab around.

@Dan C. Hi Dan. Thanks for the follow up. That seems to work just perfectly. It's setting the last line outdent to 0 that seems to do the trick. Thank you so much.

@Dan CHi Dan. It is possible to get the insertion point to the tab beyond the right hand delimiter but as soon as I type anything the copy is placed on a new line.

[Setting tabs beyond the right hand body text delimiter]

@Dan CHi Dan. Thanks for the response. I think I've tried both setting the tabs in the Paragraph Studio and clicking into the paragraph rule bar. I'm NOT adjusting the insets in the text box using the Text Frame Studio. It may be that it just ins't possible.

@Old Bruce Hi Bruce. Thanks for the response. I think your suggestion is a good work around, but I have numerous lines of questions and it will be time consuming to force a line break in each question and then reformat the following line. Plus if I want to reflow stuff at any point or change dimensions of a text box I suspect it will throw up a lot more work. But I am grateful for the suggestion and if the functionality does not exits in AP then I may have to go this route.

[Setting tabs beyond the right hand body text delimiter]

Hi. Can anyone help me with a questions on paragraph tabs?

Within MS Word I can set any type of tab beyond the right hand body copy delimiter tab. This is useful (for example) if I have a long question that runs over multiple lines and want to have an obvious answer box. Or if I have a description on an invoice that runs to multiple lines and I want the amount (£/$) to be shown at the end of the column. (Hopefully the attached graphic makes this clear.) Within Affinity Publisher I can set a tab beyond the right hadn't delimiter but I can't seem to place any copy at the tab. I've tried various key combinations but nothing seems to work. Am I missing something or is this just not possible?
