  1. You need to move the triangle on the bottom right up by clicking on it.

    This tells the Designer how many rows are affected.
    You will need to play with them a little to understand how they work.

    Also you can delete a row or a column by clicking on the minus buttons on the top left of the window.

    My personal experience with them is that you are much better of creating a table in Publisher, then apply styles to a Header, Footer and the middle part.
    Do whatever you like. And then simply save all this as a Table Style.
    And you are done.

    Then you might want to explore what the Publisher thinks of all your formatting by going to Edit Table Style.

     

  2. Copying and pasting word files to HTML documents is a completely different kettle of fish and I agree with you on this count.

    However, working with Word files in publishing is a different beast all together.

    Trust me, I consider myself a veteran in this field and am well aware of problems working with Word. 

    But it's completely unrealistic to expect people to save Word files down to .txt only and start working from there.

    However, I don't know how to write or import math equations.

    Apparently you can use Math Lab in Microsoft Word and then export the equation as PDF.

    Alternatively, install LibreOffice and do the math formulas there. You can then export your formulas in PDF and then import them to Publisher.

    It works, because I've just tried it.

    The best of luck.

     Just like Adobe Microsoft has become Subscription based, it annoys me having to pay money every month to use Word.

    You don't have to use Microsoft Word.

    There are free alternatives to it and just as good: LibreOffice, OpenOffice and many more.
    In fact, affinity can read paragraph and character styles form one of these programs. So that's an extra bonus.

    I don't think Affinity will ever want to go in that direction. But hey, who knows.

    At the moment if there's no next frame to move to, the page break is ignored. I think this is wrong - the following text should be pushed down into overflow instead. That's what happens with paragraph flow options. This should be fixed in the next beta.

    That's a great solution. Visually, the rest of the text disappears and it should inform the user that a new page needs to be created.

    So I have nothing against Publisher. And I hope it will become popular in the near future, undercutting Adobe and their pricy subscription software. But I am skeptical about how soon and to what extent this may happen.

    Big companies are the last to adopt anything new. It always starts from smaller businesses.

    Remember Quark? Unassailable king of the publishing industry? And who's laughing now.

    There is every chance for Publisher to succeed in this business now more than ever before because there is a need for something new.
