Does creating template include the changes done in "Edit > Settings..." or only changes you made on your workspace?

IMO they will have first to complete .IDML import for the features they have in common.

That's OK, but I still think they are better choice than .PNG.

Sure, but it goes to the end of the list.

I work with clipping objects, but IMO crop tool should work the same in all apps. In Photo you should define (final) document size when creating a new document and then use crop tool to fine tune the elements on the layers.

Why not .PSD or .TIF instead of .PNG? AFAIK .PNG is flatten format same as .JPG, without layers support.

It would be nice if crop tool in Photo works the same way it works in Publisher -- to crop the selected object, not to resize the whole document.

How do you know? Are you a programmer? To implement a new feature, you have to find a suitable algorithm or design your own. Do you think it's that easy? It also depends on how skilled the programmers are. Do they know how to do it? Maybe the code will need to be restructured?

It is really not a time for this. There are still plenty core features missing we eagerly waiting and waiting, and waiting...

In this video, David Blatner explains some nice features in InDesign which will be great to have them in Publisher, too. You can skip first 8 minutes (Intro) and the part about animation (IMO really not needed). Of course, there are features already in Publisher, but it is still worth of seeing it:

I placed an IDML file (created from InDesign) into Publisher which contained an anchored image with text wrap enabled (right edge). But the text wrap wasn't applied into Publisher, so I selected the image and saw that the text frame was locked (small 'X'es on the corners). When I tried to delete it, only the image disappeared, but not the picture frame. If I try to move it, only the the moved inside the frame, not the frame itself. So, I had to unanchore the image in InDesign and create another IDML file. Now, everything was OK.

1. Open the .AFPUB document from the attachment; 2. Select the text frame; 3. Start scrolling through font list. You will see that ALL fonts you have installed, "support" Cyrillic. This is because Publisher uses Word's engine for displaying fonts' preview. Now, if you open the .PNG file, which is an example from InDesign, you will see that fonts supporting Cyrillic have a portion of the selected text as an example and the other ones display "Sample". Please Affinity, correct this "bug" (or what else it can be said), to be more professional. cyrilic text (Macedonian).afpub

Beside adding more artboards at once, it would be nice to have an option how they have to be placed (rows, columns).

If you read it carefully you would notice that I am not interested in switching colors but applying them.

As my example.

I opened his document and it is all messed up. Tried to do something but I am not sure if it is going to help him at all. Your suggestion won't help him either. It is much better to start from scratch.

Is this OK to you? Of course, you will have to continue with working on it. Puzzle.afpub

Starting from InDesign and InCopy 2025 (20.3.0.42) Adobe says: • Paragraph and Character Styles are now supported. Note: InDesign will not create Paragraph and Character Styles if during the PDF conversion process, it detects that number of unique styles in the document exceeds 80.

3228 or 3238?

If you prefer LaTeX or MathML then why don't we ask Affinity to redefine all three apps to work like this (instead of clicking on ellipse -- or any other -- tool and draw ellipse or circle): 'insert elipse on coords(x, y) with dimension (x, y) with fill = None and stroke width = 1 pt and now insert rectangle on coords(x, y) with dimensions(x, y) fill = None and stroke width = 1 and merge them'. So, we won't need mice, tablets... Just entering formulas all the way.

Include AI as an option, too?

I need them too. I use them heavily in InDesign.

Yes, that's true. No other way.

When you left click the mouse and start dragging you see a straight line. When you click another time the line is fixed and it is a start point for another line. If you press the left button and drag the mouse you are drawing a curve. When you unpress the button and keep dragging the mouse you draw a straight line again.
