    Will the Transparency Tool in Publisher not do the trick for you?
  2. Seneca
    You should export the swatches as "Export Swatches for Exchange..." so you'll get .ase extension automatically. And then you can just import that file to Affinity Photo without any problem.

    That would be awesome.

    Same here.

    I hope I didn't dampen your enthusiasm here, that wasn't my intention. I do have CSS background and I see your problem. But in reality working on any larger project you will end up having all these styles defined anyway. But, trying to look outside the box is great and I applaud you for that. Maybe multiple inheritance would prove very valuable here. EDIT: MI will not solve this particular problem either.

    Your patience will be rewarded.

    I don't think I would want that as an option. But what's the difference between your approach of selecting part of text and applying say bold and then underline (2 actions) from having one character style Bold-Underline and apply it only once. You could base your Bold and Bold-Italic on the common style upstream to reduce repetition.

    I suspect we are going to see footnotes and endnotes first. The side ones if they ever arrive they will arrive later.

    Unbelievable, jaw dropping 😲

    Oddly enough you were the one one that left a comment there.

    I have reported this usability issue at least twice on this board so this is not an unknown issue. I hope that when Serif comes up with an updated layer system they will also address this issue here.

    Thank you @Old Bruce for your thoughts. I think that pinning text frames (side notes) to the main text is too fragile and is a hack as far as I am concerned. Peter's script does it because this feature doesn't exist in inDesign. I hope that Affinity will be able to come up with a solution that is more maintainable. And hopefully we the community will be able to push Affinity in the right direction.

    I've just tried this. Copied the table linked by Gabe using Safari. I then selected the right number of columns and rows and pasted the table successfully. However, this doesn't work if I leave the cursor in a cell and paste. All get's pasted into one cell. I think Publisher should realise that the contents of a table are pasted into an existing table and it should paste that to appropriate cells. So, there is room for improvement here as far as I am concerned. 🙂

    You may need to downsample your video because as haakoo says the video doesn't show anything. 🙂

    I think you should post this in the Features Requests & Suggestions section.

    Hi Helmar, Believe or not this idea came up already. I too would very much like to see something like that implemented in Publisher. But again, there are so many other things I would like to see implemented first.

    Hi @Helma Splitting your book in independent chapters may afford you the most flexibility. You can add, or delete pages at will without worrying about how things may change down the line. Please let us know whether that has made any difference working on your book. Best regards

    Well, you seem to treat Publisher like a Word Processor. You should only start page-making business if your text is complete or almost complete. If you add pages, delete text things will move and there is nothing you can do about it. Whether you do it in inDesign, QuarkXpress or Publisher you should start layout out pages only if your text will not change. (Edits are to be expected of course). Magazines and leaflets are a different beast. Most of the pages are independent and you can add, delete them at will.

    This has happened to be before. The problem get's fixed then the same problem comes back again in another beta. Basically what happens is that the pinned object gets moved to the Master layer. if you open your layers panel you will notice that the graphics has been moved to that layer. It's annoying that this keeps coming back unresolved. Edit: To elaborate a bit further - this only happens if you pin to a text box coming from the Master Pages. If you create a text box on a page and pin anything to it this doesn't happen. I have reported this a number of times and it gets fixed and then the problem comes back again.

    You can also use Resource Manager to quickly replace pictures and maintain their dimensions.
  21. Seneca
    inDesign doesn't have a shortcut for that either but because it has scripting support it has been scripted by Peter Kahrel and is available as a free script for those who want this. My point then is that if/when we get scripting in Publisher a lot of things like that will be sorted out fairly easily.
  22. Seneca
    Unfortunately, Publisher doesn't have an equivalent to Object Styles in inDesign. I, and a score of others have asked for that but, frankly, there are more important things missing from Publisher (Footnotes for example) that this can wait a little.
  23. Seneca
    I think you mean Pin. Well it works for me. Please check the Pinning options in the Pinning Panel.
  24. Seneca
    An inconsistency in behaviour or a tiny bug. Create a Text Box and apply a stroke to the text box, – then create a Table – Table has no stroke. Create a Table and apply a stroke then create a text box and the stroke is carried over to the text box. This is inconsistent but most probably a bug because one should not influence the other.
  25. Seneca
    Remember that you can apply a master page to each individual page. So once you created your master pages one with white and one with black you can apply white to the verso and black to the recto of the same spread. No need to keep duplicating master pages.
