Thanks Alfred. Makes perfect sense. I am surprised and pleased that Affinity gives us this much control. I guess, coming from InDesign, I just expected no options. Affinity is looking better and better all the time.

Thanks for the reply, Bruce ... I'm probably older than thou. That did work as you suggested. The tool calls the style a 'dashed line" .... what I see is just square dots. Is there anyway to change it to dashes?

Affinity Designer/Publisher V2.3.1 - Windows 10 Pro - 16MB Ram I just created a new file and only got this far before discovering this problem. First Ticket.afpub

Thank you Walt, Hangman, Thomaso, & Alfred for your comments and instructions. They clarified the possible scenarios that I will have to use to get the job done. 24 hours ago, I wasn't even aware of Affinity. I got an email from a customer in Michigan who happened to mention that she had moved from InDesign to Affinity. That snippet of information kind of changed the course of my day yesterday.

I'm coming from InDesign ... It is it possible to enter text in Publisher or Designer that has a property setting, which can be toggled, so that it won't print on final output? This is sort of like a placeholder that can be seen but not printed at output time. I can place an .idml file in Publisher ... work on it in Designer ... turn off visibility of a text block ... bring it back into Publisher .... and the objects are gone. If I move the page back to Designer, I can't turn the visibility back on because they are gone from Designer too. If would be helpful to be able to toggle visibility of objects in Publisher, on or off, as needed.
