Thanks, old Bruce. I've used the same specifications as in Indesign: A space of 5 mm between the last line of the text and the first line of a footnote, and 1 mm between footnotes. Indesign is always placing the footnotes on the bottom margin despite the number of footnotes ... Could it be that here an official solution from Serif for APub is still not available?

Sorry, forgot: Thanks in advance!

Yeah, you have been right (as usual). I set the Flow Options in the Text Style Editor to "Keep with previous paragraph" - et voilà. Thank you very much.

I still have this issue, either with the "official" version 2.6.0 or with the beta version 2.6.2.3228 as you can see below. The screenshots are taken from the beta version. There is enough space on page 35 to include text from page 36 and at least footnote 16 if not 17 too. Any ideas how to resolve the problem at the moment? (I don't want to do the book layout with Indesign ...)

Thanks. That helped!

I am working on a normal text book (Theology) with headers and footnotes. I created the header on a Master page and applied this page to all right pages. The header is reading the main title for the following chapter and puts the title in the header (well, of course it does). The style I apply to the main title is the same for every chapter. BUT, as you can see in the screen shots, only the title "Karl Barth (...)" is visible in the header above (and on every right page in that chapter). In the second chapter "Rudolf Bultmann (...)" the header stays empty. So do the following right pages. There are only two tiny red circles visible. What am I doing wrong? I am using version 2.6.0 of Affinity Publisher. Thanks for any help in advance!

The solution: In a small menu on top of the screen. looking like that below, but much smaller ___ ________ ___ ________ "Justify vertically" had been clicked. Changing that to "Top align" everything is fine (finally) ... It has nothing to do with grids. Anyway, thanks for helping out.

I am trying to create a table of content using a font size of 11 pt and an exact spacing of 13,5 pt which is working well in every chapter of the book - but not in the table of content. Even if I click on "Align to Baseline Grid" nothing happens as you can see in the screenshot below. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your help.

With APub 2.5.5, you can replace one paragraph format with the other using ‘Find and Replace’, as you are used to with Indesign. In Indesign, the bold, italic or similar markup is retained. With APub, this only works if you do this individually - in my case for the footnotes - (i.e. replace the paragraph format of the respective footnote with the desired one) AND click on ‘[...] apply local formatting’. This does not work with the general ‘Search and replace’, as this option is missing there. Or am I missing something? How should I proceed in order not to provide 350 footnotes individually with a new paragraph format? Thanks as always. --------------------------- German version: Beim APub 2.5.5 lässt sich ja - wie von Indesign gewohnt - mittels "Suchen und Ersetzen" das eine Absatzformat durch das andere ersetzen. Bei Indesign werden die Auszeichnungen fett, kursiv o.ä. dabei beibehalten. Bei APub funktioniert das nur, wenn man - in meinem Fall bei den Fußnoten - das einzeln macht (also das Absatzformat der jeweiligen Fußnote durch das gewünschte andere ersetzt) UND "[…] lokale Formatierung übernehmen" anklickt. Beim generellen "Suchen und Ersetzen" funktioniert das nicht, da hier diese Option fehlt. Oder übersehe ich etwas? Wie müsste ich vorgehen, um nicht 350 Fußnoten einzeln mit einem neuen Absatzformat zu versehen? Vielen Dank schon mal wie immer.

I am still occupied with my 1.300 footnote text. I received today a new version form the author - as usual a WordPerfect X3-File ... I managed to save that file as a MS Word 97/2000/20023/2003-file (*.doc) and imported it via Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V in APub which worked fine (even with 1.300 footnotes). Now I am able to assign alle the different text styles. But one strange issue occured which you can see below: Page 2 ist empty ... In Indesign there would be a small glyph for the beginning of a new page at the end of the old one: ˇ If I delete that small glyph the text on the new page will immediately appear under the last line of the old page's text. Neither in the WordPerfect-file nor in the Word-file is anything to find at the end of page 1. I can't find anything similar in APub at the end of page 1. So what should I do to get rid of the empty page 2? Thanks in advance.

Thanks to you all! Much appreciated.

Thanks, MikeTO. At the moment the author and me will go with the following solution: Copy and paste the WordPerfect file into Affinity Publisher. Make a proper layout. Make a pdf-file. Send the file to the author. Then the author will make the same page breaks in WordPerfect as in the pdf-file, update the cross references, make a pdf-file from the WordPerfect file and send me the pdf-file with the updated cross references. Afterwards I have to insert the new cross references manually in the Affinity Publisher file. [sigh] But they are correct then.

A file with a theological subject has been written in WordPerfect X3 (readable by me with WordPerfect X5). It has 300 pages and 1.200 footnotes with cross references. I can simply import the file into APub with copy and paste; even the Hebrew and Greek letters are there. But all the cross references are vanished ... Is there a way to import the file with the cross references which should be able to update themselves afterwards? Thanks in advance.

I really would be glad to receive a helpful answer! Have a nice day.
