Hello! Thank you for your answer. I meddled around with settings and restarted the computer and suddenly the problem was gone. I couldn't reproduce it so I think it was a simple hickup with settings.

Hello! I'm very new to this kind of stuff so maybe this is a dumb question. I made a simple "at the beach" clipart and I'm struggling to color the sand at the bottom of the picture. First I tried to add an invisible vector area but it looked very bad. Is there a way to extend the small area under the sand curves or do I have to work with invisible vector areas to color the area below with sand color?

Thank you, this works!

hello! I'm struggling to fill the area of the sun with a color. The filling tool always assumes that the bottom line isn't a border and paints over it.

Hello! I made a simple clipart in Designer of a patch of leather for school. It really looks nice. As a background I added a background layer to the clipart. Everything was fine so far. Then I copied the clipart to my worksheet in Publisher and it printed nicely. I modified the worksheet to re-use it yesterday and suddenly it is printing not just the clipart but outside of the cliparts border the whole background layer is visible which is a square picture of real leather. I can't find the reason why this is happening. In publisher and in designer the background is just within the borders of the clipart. But if I print it, the printer prints the whole background pic above the clipart.

Oh my dear... I got it, thanks to you. I was trying to set as default from the menu but it didn't work. I had to add it first as a new format and then save it as default. Ok... thank you so much!

Thank you. So there is no global way to save a style for all future projects. I can import from another project and I can make a template as a base for every new worksheet. Thanks...

I created some table formats for a worksheet. Today I opened a new project / worksheet and I had to notice that all my table formats I have saved are gone. So I went into an old worksheet and there they are. Is there a way to save formats globally, so that they are available in every new project / worksheet I build from scratch?

Thank you so much. This made me crazy. Yes, it was de-AT, which means Austrian German... The Find&Replace worked well. I had so many small tables I'm using as lines/text boxes for the students to write in and I could not select and re-apply German for all at once but had to select every single one of them. 25 per page x 8 pages. I'm so happy now. Thanks! Edit: I still have the problem every time I add a standard table to my projects. I can't find a way to change that. I go to the table tool, add, and I get the error. I have to edit the table after that to German. I tried it on new projects, too. No success.

I'm really trying to like Publisher but the more I get into it, the more problems I start stumbling upon. So I got the "missing dictionary" error when I tried to print my worksheets. Suddenly all of them had this error although I haven't had it before and everything worked fine. So suddenly my German dictionary is missing. I go into the settings and it is set to German. I get into the Character pane, scroll down, it's set to German. So I use the dropdown, I click German again and suddenly the errors are gone. But not all of them. The tables have the error still. So I got frustrated and clicked several times onto the table and selected English. And then German again. And the error was gone. Do I have to go through all my worksheets, select every text field, go into the Character pane, select an already selected German language? And after that I have to go through all the tables and do the above thing? Isn't there an easier way? Why do I have to select an option that already is selected?

Hello. I suddenly have the same problem in Publisher 2 with grey colors. I don’t know why. I didn’t change anything and all of a sudden grey is too dark.

Hello! I’m a teacher and I’m using Publisher to create worksheets on my MacBook Air M1. It works like a charm. I created several worksheets with light grey lines for my students to write on. this worked till today. When I printed my newest sheet the grey was very dark, almost black. I thought it was because of the new toner so I printed a printer test sheet by the printer software and everything was fine. So I made a pdf in Publisher and still, too dark grey tones. so I opened Apple Pages and everything was fine… I changed the color setting of my project in Publisher to CMYK and suddenly the grey of the print was good. the thing I don’t understand: my printer, a brother color laser printer, has a srgb profile. And it handled the conversion fine with 3 other worksheets I have created before on Publisher. But it has problems with the newest. All worksheets are copies of the first one. All of them have srgb in the document settings. So… why?

The middle point: I need lines that fit to the font I'm using and I need an easy way to create those lines. Thus I tried using a table because I can save the table and just insert it where I need it. But it's more complicated than I thought because in the template of the table the heights and width isn't saved. I could just copy - paste from other documents but I wish it would just work like this: today I need 20 lines with the width of a word. Tomorrow I need 12 lines for 12 similar sentences. Yea this works great but this month we are still using sans serif fonts, next month we use serif fonts. Today we learn new words so I need them in word length, tomorrow we will write sentences so I need it in another size, next week we need those lines in the length of a short text. I will spend a lot of time just adjusting those tables to my needs instead of creating worksheets and I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this...

Thank you for the hint with copying from numbers. This works fine. It imports the table from Numbers as lines and forms and not as table which doesn't matter. Awesome.

I'm trying to accomplish this with Publisher 2: So far I have managed to make a table that looks similar: The thing is... I need lines for my worksheets in different lengths. Sometimes underneath each other, sometimes next to each other. I am trying to figure out how to best implement this with Affinity. I tried it as a pic in the background but it is so hard, like sometimes I need 20 of these line in word length exactly in a row and so on.
