This is the one! Rasterising the whole lot was the missing step. Thanks to all for their help! So the steps that worked: 1. Scan document as black and white jpg or PNG 2. Import into Photo 3. Use Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Levels Adjustment 4. Levels: Black - 14% White - 76% Gamma - 1.288 5. Document > flatten 6. Filters > Colours > Erase white paper 7. Export as PNG, selection without background 8. Import into Publisher image frame 9. Give thanks and celebrate!

I've tried this - same result again. The grey background is still there despite following all steps. When I create the PNG it looks as it should - so why is the grey background always in the final version that is imported into the picture frame in Publisher? If I paste it onto the page without using the picture frame the result is identical. It is as though it never truly gets converted to a PNG, or the background is not truly erased. When I paste in your version it works fine - so clearly I'm missing a step or two?

I am trying to end up with just the black and white image on a white background. It will be published on a white page so I need the off-white background in the original art to disappear. I'm not sure I know what you mean by placing a red rectangle below the image - how does that tell me if something is transparent?

I follow the steps but the final imported image always has the background. When I select erase white paper it looks like it has turned into a PNG, but then the final image imported still has the background. Where could I be going wrong? I also select 'image without background' when exporting the PNG but when I insert the image it still has the original background that I am trying to remove.

I will be scanning original artwork in order to produce a book. We will be using artwork drawn using black ink. When importing the scans into Af Photo or Designer, is there a way to separate the image from the original paper background - and create a PNG of each image? The idea is to avoid having whites around each image which are different to the paper stock color. I hope this question makes sense!

When creating a TOC as per the Affinity tutorial video, I have found that I cannot space the TOC items out as I would like. If I drag the box in line with the para above it sends the page number to the next line. but if I drag the text box in from the left, it puts it on the same line. Is this a bug or should I be setting this up differently?

Watching the tutorial below > at just after the 1-minute mark he does an "alt drag" to create facing page numbers. I cannot reproduce this. Could someone explain how this is done successfully? Firstly, I do not get a number when inserting page numbers as per the instructions. I get a hash mark - # I use the move tool to select the page number box then hold alt and drag to the right, but only manage to duplicate the # mark. The # mark does not slide along laterally, but is free of any snapping, so I cannot get it level. EDIT: Ah, I get it, I think. You now use Command-drag, not alt-drag. This works.
