99% of the time I do not need to select the text, and should not have to, just clicking a style applies all the features of it to that paragraph. It is same with MS Publisher.

I downloaded the trial to see if it is significantly better than v. 1, and the file was a msix, I had to google how to open it. The first thing I did was open my last file and attempt to change style of a paragraph. I put the cursor on the text, and hit the "MyQuote" style and nothing happened, just the same as with version 1. I got into the habit of creating two styles exactly alike, because the text would not update when I updated a style, so I had to click some other style then back to the one I wanted again and the paragraph would update. But for some reason it does not want to do that now. I have the text set for New times roman, which is what it was in the original .docx file before I imported, but for some reason it shows up as Bell MT. So I click the style I have set and it will not change. I am NOT going to go through a 300 page book and select each section of quoted text and change the font. I will NOT BUY THIS PROGRAM and I am going to change back to MS Publisher. I am tired of swearing at this program. Bye.

Same here, a trail version would also be nice to see if it is worth the upgrade. As it is, I would not buy V. 1 again.

I bought this product under the impression that I would get free update. Apparently that only applies to small incremental improvements between the actual updates. I will NOT be buying this AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. Thanks but no thanks.

Thanks for you help, but the flow was set the same as shown for all, and nothing changed. I simply added a picture, as I had no issues when I tried adding a line on other pages.

If I cannot fix it I will just insert a photo somewhere that will push the text down to avoid the problem, but I sure need to know this because I do several books a year.

Thanks, the flow was set correctly. When I told the empty paragraph to stay with the previous paragraph, it jumped the last line of the previous page onto the new page:

Yes, same result.

I am doing a book, and on the bottom right-hand page the last line is a bold heading, which I do not want at the bottom: So I put a paragraph return at the start of the last line, and what does it do? It forces the paragraph return onto the top of the next page. I do not have flow settings like "keep with last" anything. I have it set for "anywhere."

Found it, thanks.

I have examined every single line of that, and do not see what is in the image:

When I hit return it changes styles, I found in another thread that you must tell "same style" but I cannot figure out how to do it. I found this image, but I CANNOT FIND this anywhere:

What would be really really helpful would be if Affinity could open and use MS Publisher files, but save them as Affinity. That way, I would not have to totally re-work all of my .pub files from scratch. There are several programs that will open and use .doc Word files and .docx, so why not .pub?? Michael

thanks much

On page 14 and 15 you can see it has two page breaks. Neither are there in the original. You can push the text down and it will do down but always break at those words. Dark Night-1.afpub
