Convert text to table
Seneca replied to Rabari's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Just elected a few cells and paste. See how that works for you. -

Seneca replied to Andy Somerfield's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on macOS threads
No, they should leave it as is. -
optical kerning?

Yep. -
optical kerning?
Seneca replied to RichardZ's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
I don't wan't to be rude but do you actually understand what Optical Kerning is? Here is one answer that might interest you. I always use metrics. I prefer to use kerns that the font designer has looked at rather than metrics generated by an algorithm. Given that it's usually agreed that the best kerning is achieved manually, I'm always quite amazed at the number of people who prefer app-generated kerns. (I've wondered whether this was not due in part to the name; if it was called "automatic" or "machine" instead of "optical" kerning and "metrics" was called ""manual" or "human" kerning, would we see a difference in the numbers?) -
It was Quark that lost the battle. They didn't even turn up for the fight. Their product support was so awful that people left in droves. Now things are different of course.

Text Wrap has no effect on text in tables. This is particularly useful when you have a picture pinned to the text in a table cell and want the text to wrap around the picture. Pinned Inline text does work though.

Sections within Publisher
Seneca replied to Daniel Finch's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Especially because you can now pin your pictures to the text and it works in tables as well. -
Footnotes/Endnotes
Seneca replied to garrettm30's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Hi @Petar Petrenko, I'm sure you know there reason why there is no CTRL (Command) + A for that. Footnotes are styled, so as soon as you update the style of a footnote all footnotes are restyled (updated). -
If you want to design a pamphlet then use affinity Designer. While useful, the Book option in Publisher is not essential as you seem to be implying. Some professional use Book facility in inDesign or QuarkXpress some don't and both produce very long docs. What I'm saying is that we should not exaggerate the importance of that feature.

Inline Pinning and Text Wrap
Seneca replied to Seneca's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
Thanks again Dave. I'd welcome that. -
Inline Pinning and Text Wrap
Seneca replied to Seneca's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
Thanks Dave. I should not have dragged inDesign here. It confused the issue. Basically, I'm not exactly sure why we have ADVANCE in Inline Pinning if we can't control the text beneath it. Advance xxxpt allows me to push the pinned graphic over the lines below the line that contains the pinned object. If we had Auto leading then the following lines would move down below the graphic. But I am not aware of any paragraph options to accomplish that. And if so, what's the use of this option (except maybe for some special effects, decorative things). Hence my suggestion/query earlier to have some sort of control over that with text wrap. -
Page spread limitations
Seneca replied to Raymondo's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Then use Affinity Designer. -
Inline Pinning and Text Wrap
Seneca replied to Seneca's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
That's one way of looking at it. However, inDesign does exactly that. -
Affinity Publisher Public Beta - 1.7.0.305
Seneca replied to AdamW's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
Personally, I think you should try. You may regret for not doing it later. -
Hello @Wojciech Krakowiak. Your find Grep adds space (not the non-breaking space) after the conjunction and not before. I modified your grep slightly. Please test it now and let me know whether this works for you now. FIND: \b(a|i|o|u|w|z|A|I|O|I|W|Z)\b\s REPLACE: $1(add the non breaking space from the pop up menu) Edit: This ads the non-breaking space after the conjunction. I think this is what you want.

I'm hesitant to call this a bug because I'm not sure what the intended behaviour here is but shouldn't pinned inline objects also support text wrap?

Pinning panel display issues in dark mode
Seneca replied to icreate's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
Maybe, but if that's the case then that's a bug in Publisher. Publisher should run on High Sierra equally well. -
Pinning panel display issues in dark mode
Seneca replied to icreate's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
My bad, sorry I should have said it there and then. I'm on macOS Mojave (Version 10.14.5 latest beta). -
Pinning panel display issues in dark mode
Seneca replied to icreate's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
I'm also running in dark mode and I don't have that problem. Try resetting Publisher. Just in case.
