Thank you very much, that solves my question 🙂

Hello / Hallo, I am currently looking for a way to insert the eighth part of a squad into text. I found options for a full or half squad and others, but not for the eighth part, which surprises me as I learned this as an important part of micro-typography. Can someone help me out, e.g., is this space hidden with another name or can be defined/inserted manually? (And sorry in case the English terms don't fully match; English is not my first language). ---- Ich suche derzeit nach einer Möglichkeit, ein Achtelgeviert in den Text einzufügen. Ich habe Optionen für ein halbes oder ganzes Geviert und auch andere Geviert-Teile gefunden, aber keine Option für ein Achtelgeviert. Was mich wundert, weil ich dieses Abstandsmaß als wichtigen Bestandteil in der Mikro-Typografie gelernt habe. Kann mir hier jemand weiterhelfen; versteckt sich dieser Abstand bspw. hinter einem anderen Namen oder kann manuell definiert/eingegeben werden? Thanks in advance / Danke im Vorraus, M.K.

Thank you very much for explaining how you do those things - and the effort to make screenshots and all! I think I now understand these things better and I will find ways to work with them and Affinity Publisher (and, if I get lost, I will come back to this post and see how far I get).

I have two sets of Master-pages, both of them with a left and a right page. So yes, facing pages.

Thanks for the explanation, Old Bruce. Do you have a workaround, i.e., how to add and shift pages without these things happening? As of now, this sounds to me like I have to plan every single page in the book in advance before working with Affinity Publisher.

Hello, I encounter a problem when inserting or shifting pages in a document, using Affinity Publisher version 1.10.1.1142. I do not have the English interface activated, yet I hope that it is clear what I mean nonetheless. I have a document with 4 pages and two double-sided Master-pages/layouts (one for "regular text" in a book and one for pages with chapter introductions). The chapter introductions include a title image. That works all well and good, yet the issues arise when I want to add more pages or shift the pages that I have: When inserting new pages (e.g., 4 new pages) before the first page, I suddenly have 5 blank pages at the beginning of the document and my text is on the remaining 3 pages. Needless to say that the text on the very last page does not fit anymore. Also, my chapter introduction page is suddenly on the left side (instead of the right side where it has been before inserting the new pages), the text frame has been adjusted to another layout automatically and my image is simply gone. Something similar happens when I insert new pages at the end and then try to shift those new pages to the beginning of the document. However, the text does strange things there - when shifting one of the new pages to the beginning of the document, the end of my text is directed to that page - which means that the end of the text can be read before the beginning. I am relatively new to Affinity Publisher and this mightily confuses me. Shifting and inserting pages is something that I am used to from other professional layout programs. Is this some kind of bug? Or can someone explain to me what to do differently, like that Affinity Publisher has a special way of inserting and shifting pages that have a Master Page assigned to it? Thanks in advance, Maria
