What's the real difference between these 2 programs, because they both open and work with files created by each other, and look exactly the same Interface to me! I opened a Publisher file in Designer (it's just a poster - no need to use Publisher really), changed nothing but saved it as a Designer file, and it was 10% smaller (see screenshot).

Thank you for that, it will come in useful knowing that. I think it's partly a mindset change, as I found I could have different font styles in the same text frame, which was a bit hit and miss with Inkscape (too easy to obliterate everything!), so in actual fact I could put my text in a frame and no need to align different text objects by baseline. Many thanks again

Is there still no functionality to align to text baselines? I've worked out that you can fudge it by adding characters with descenders, aligning then removing again, but it's a bit of a faff. If the functionality isn't there, is it planned? It's the only feature I really miss that Inkscape has.
