For the problematic page, you have different Master pages for the left and right sides, even though the "corpo articolo" has a header definition for the right side as well - so they may be in conflict somehow.
If I apply "Corpo articolo" I lose the footer. And anyway I tried and it presents the same problem, it doesn't show the header either. The multiple masters exist because I merged the single articles into one document, as I need both the individual article and the book as a whole.

You have a problem with your "academic journal" where the header is not displayed correctly. So that users who are trying to help you and give you advice do not have to guess and shoot blindly - what could it be?, it is always better to provide a problematic document in which the mentioned problem can be easily identified.
P.S. if there is a problem with publishing the text/content of the document, it can of course be deleted or replaced with lorem ipsum, because the actual text/content is apparently not relevant to the problem.
Ok. You're right, but as you just put "try insert document" I thought it was some sort of function of Affinity I didn't know of. I'm not native english speaker. Here it is.

Can you elaborate?

Hi All, I'm putting together an academic journal. I have two introductions (same introduction, two languages) to which I've applied the same masters. The first one displays the header correctly but the second show it as hidden text. It's like there was something there not allowing the text to show in the right place. It's driving me mad!
Please help.

Hi Mike, I write directly to you here about another topic because I know you can give a straight answer. I'm using the "book" function for the first time. Usually I edit my books in one document, but this one is an assignment for an academic journal with multiple articles by multiple authors and I thought it will make more sense have a book. My question is, once I set up the book with all the articles, front and back matter, if I need to make changes in the content would I do it on the single documents or directly on the book?
Thank you

Hi, I need to format footnotes lines so that they align below every first word of that line and not under the footnote number, as in the screenshot provided. I can't find a way to do that.

I think it's the same bug I reported just recently so I've added it to that thread and asked Serif.
Thank you. It might also be caused by Affinity thinking the apostrophe is just another valid character to apply hyphenation to. The fact the problem is solved by changing prefix from 2 to 3 characters might imply that. Moreover, languages like Catalan have special phonetic graphic sign like the "l·l" (a double L with a dot in the middle, as in the word "il·lustració"). When hyphened, Affinity will wrongly separate the "l·" from the other "l". It could also be a fault in the Catalan Hyphenation dictionary.

Checked, thank you. It's a real bummer. I'll try the workaround you suggest and then re-check manually.
Should we communicate the bug?
Thanks again.

Unicode for the apostrophe is U+2019

I'm unable to duplicate this. Could you please share a test document? I assume you have Character > Language > Spelling set to Català.
How are you typing that apostrophe?
Could you select the apostrophe and press Ctrl+U and then tell us what unicode value it is?
Here's a document I created which breaks properly with language set to Català.
Good luck
OK, I modified a little your doc and placed the apostrophe example in the first line.

Hi everybody.
Not related to the previous topic, but regarding the same file. I'm doing a galley proofreading of the book and noticed that Publisher often leaves isolated letters (or letters with an apostrophe, hanging at the end of the line (as in the example) which is not really right. Is there an automatic way I can tell Publisher not to separate the letter+apostrophe with the following word? I created a "do not divide" character style but still I have to go word by word.
Thank you.

The good news is it looks like you have the OpenType feature Scientific Inferiors (sinf) enabled on the Index text.
So turn that Off in the Typography Panel and you should be fine.
Pensum Pro is an advanced text font - with lots of OpenType features.
They linked both Subscripts (subs) and Scientific Inferiors (sinf) to a full set of figures, currency signs, lowercase a-z, punctuation, dashes, etc. (61 glyphs).The bad news is - the names are even more of a mess than I initially thought (looked closer today).
And if you are using the OTF fonts, they could be even worse (more name fields).I only installed the Regular, RegularItalic, and Bold.
Messed-up names fields can result in the wrong fonts in a PDF.
So test Export to PDF now.
If you have any issues, please come back.That's great, thank you. I don't know how the scientific inferior got enabled at all! But you're right about the fonts, Affinity recognizes Pensum Pro as regular/bold as one font and the italic as a separate font. I did some pdf export tests and they look ok. I really like the font, pity it causes all those issues.
Thanks again, if something comes up I'll let you know.

Send us a test doc.
My thing is fonts.
@MikeTO is an expert in TOCs.So together we will figure this out somehow.
Here's test doc.

If you can disable the Italic, you can try that.
Shut down Affinity first (so the font cache will be rebuilt when opened).
Then disable or un-install the Italic.
Then restart Affinity and see if the TOC is OK.
If the TOC is OK, then a name conflict is probably the issue.
If the TOC is not OK, then my guess was apparently wrong.The Pensum Pro has "Regular Italic" in the Typographic Style name.
Usually this is just "Italic".
This may be confusing Affinity.
And both the Full Font Name and the PostScript Name fields also include "Regular" in them.
Also may confuse Affinity.
When Affinity gets confused, odd things happen.I could test it locally with the local fonts with a test document.
And I could test-modify the Italic and see if the issue goes away.You're probably right. The thing is that now I've basically finished the lay-out and I'm afraid if I disable the italic it will mess with the body as well, which works fine at the moment

You should be able to resolve this by editing the TOC text styles. The font family and weight may not be defined, it may show No Change, so just change that to exactly what you want.
Good luck.
Yes I tried to edit the TOC style but to no avail. I'll try reset the font preferences and start again anew

I have Pensum Pro regular, Bold and Italic. I assigned the Pensum Pro regular to the TOC style. Now I'm not near the computer but I will send you a sample of the document as soon as possible.

Hi,
I'm currently working on a book. I've rented a font (Pensum) from Fontstand and using it with Affinity Publisher v2 (Mac). Everything works fine with titles and body paragraph styles, but when I tried to use it with the Table of Content styles it doesn't recognize the font. The name is there but the result is weird and misplaced characters from another font. If I change to an installed font (say Palatino) everything is fine again. Just wanted to know if ti was a bug or I was doing something wrong.
Thank you,
Raul.

Question: does anyone know if there's a function in Affinity Publisher similar to Indesign "Allow pages to shuffle" in order to stick together multiple pages?
I use this function to make book covers as it allow me to make a template and then change size of spine or flaps if required.
Thank you.

Thank you! I managed adapting the master pages as you suggested.
