And what about Affinity?

I don't like this silence either. How busy must they have been to not write a word? So what about the VectorStyler developer? He has to add new features, fix bugs every week, and yet he has time to respond to every email he receives.

Have you tried to check "I accept the terms..." and click ACCEPT button?

Oooooohhh Affinity...

I've just realized that it works if you paste style from one to another text box, but it doesn't work on selected text which is what I want to do (or maybe I don't know how).

Hi, I applied a layer effect to text in Publisher and I want to apply it to other text, but I don't know how. Can anyone help?

I think QuarkXPress approach is the best. They implemented font manager in it so you can work with fonts like this: First, QXP search for fonts in the folder where the working document is and they are seen only by that document; If there are no fonts in the that local folder then it search in the QXP folder where the app is installed. If it finds any fonts in there then they are available to all Quark documents; Otherwise, it search for fonts into Windows > Fonts folder.

If I understand you correctly, you want to use them directly from the Google site. If so, I don't think that's a good idea because you'll have to rely on a reliable internet connection. Second, Google fonts are constantly evolving, new glyphs are added or something. In that case, I'm not sure how the app will handle the new version of the font.

Please, make all icons, fields, panels... active when no document is created/opened (like InDesign) to be able to make defaults on application level.

@MikeTO Just a suggestion -- maybe it would look nicer if you remove page numbers on chapter titles in TOC and put them closer to the next lines?

Why don't you make a suggestion to VectorStyler?

@Pšenda that's nice.

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).
