Looks like I can what I need to do by Editing in Publisher which is a choice under the File Menu. A flip there and back does all I need to do. I should have thought of this earlier. Yes the labels are not editable in Photo but the journey back to publisher is still possible. I am on my way. Thanks

Thanks to Brian and Walt - yes the first thing I need to accept that there is a difference between text as a label on the photo and a text style. So I am needing to sort out my expectations. My background is publisher both in IDesign and Affinity Publisher and I was expecting the same approach in Photo 2. I have not tried a template but will do so along the lines you have suggested. My current project is to print all the Bird Photos that I have taken and I simply wanted to attach a label identifying the bird. I wanted to use a uniform label style for each label and did not want to have to create the style for every picture and its label. Yes the suggestions have been helpful but I have yet to try them. Thanks

Thank-you for your response. I have read all that is contained in the help files as above and tried to follow and implement these guidelines. For me they have not worked and I can only at this stage assume that either I am missing something or that I am totally expecting something different. Failing those two most likely issues the only other is that there is a bug in Version 2 but I am reluctant to make that claim since I have not used text or text styles in the time I have been with version 1. and can only say that they are not working at present for me. I wish to use the type styles on my machine and totally within the current version of Affinity Photo 2. I expected that I could save a style in a category via the stye page under studio and call down the correct style from the context menu when selecting Artistic Text. None of this seem to happen once I quit the first photo file with the saved Artistic Text Style saved as per the help files. I have also tried exporting and importing from the first photo file but that has not worked either. I guess at this stage it would be appreciated if I could be assured that a. there is not a bug in Photo 2 and that the help files are up to date with Photo 2 b. if there is a suggestion as to what I could be missing following the help files - have others had issues with this aspect of Photo 2. Many Thanks Regards KwameKofi

I cannot save an artistic text style that I could use continuously in the future, I can save to the current photo file but even with a second photo file both in edit mode the second photo file does not see the saved style from the first edit file even while both live in edit mode. The help file would appear to be for Photo 1 rather than photo 2 or am I missing something along the way. Could someone point me in the right direction because I am lost and have spent far too much time trying to get this feature to work. Thanks

We all need a good file viewer that supports Affinity Files. Affinity does almost everything right but we need an image/file viewer that includes Affinity files. Cannot believe that you have dragged your feet on this issue. Please give us some hope and guidance on this issue. Surely it can't be that hard?
