I’d place all three objects on the master page using a picture frame for the the sandwich filling.

Thanks carl, but what about applying the master page from the master page to all pages not one page at a time.

You could try blurb.co.uk for Print On Demand and set up a free ISBN with Blurb, ready for Amazon self-publishing.
Ive used it for several personal POD books and very pleased with the results.

If I have multiple pages with an image on each page and I want to watermark (from a Master Page) placed across each image. The watermark item always places under the page pics instead of on top. This can be done in the layers panel but only one page at a time. Am I missing something?

When in the 'Data Merge Node Tool' look in the tool bar for 'Gutter' and adjust. Make sure to check 'Preserve Cell Size'.
There's also a red dot in the grid itself. You can drag this.
Thanks for that, I'll check it out later.

Working on iMac OS Catalina without any crashes. Only thing I couldn't do was adjust space between each item.
Didn't work at first until I discovered a spelling mistake in the data, didn't match the spelling of an image!
Normally I would also add crop marks for each item, In ID I used a script to do this. -
I set up a 4 page trial file using the Master Page I moved the ruler zero point to the top left of the default column. The result was that the ruler started in the correct position only on page one and the default position on the other 3 pages.
Strangely it worked once, then I count replicate it again!
Would be very useful if this could be fixed!

Italian user here. I can speak and understand the tutorials in their original language; thanks anyway for having subtitled (most of) them in Italian.
We are a service provider for some of the major Italian editors (my company's website is www.blulapis.it) and we are currently switching to Affinity products. In case you'd like to expand your share on the Italian market, we'd be more than happy to cooperate with you: by translating your printed guides, as an example (there are lots - LOTS - of Italian people whose English skills are simply inadequate to take advantage from your guides).Regards
Emanuele
I had to translate Your website before I could read ii.

I have created a Basic PDF guide here (6.3MB), you can download and print it or add it to Mac Books to follow on an iPad ...and its FREE!
If anyone uses it I wouldn't mind some feedback, especially if there is something that is difficult to follow.
Ny hopeless internet connection would not allow me to upload the file here.

If you take a little moment to think a little different you will find out that it is possible to create a 3 page folder in APub, just not with three pages. Use one page instead and set up your folds with guides.
...and manually add centre crop marks in the bleed.

For instance the program tells me when overflow on a page is reached but doesn't tell how to load the next page.
'Overflow' is not covered in the help seactionAdd another page then look up "Linking text frames" in the Help Affinity Publisher Help window.
Also I have a couple of PDF tutorials that might help here, I will add more over time.

Thanks Garry, I appreciate this.
I will battle along again with it tomorrow.

mswift: Just to be clear, are you saying that:
1) you managed to get what you wanted without using ‘spacer columns’ once but can't repeat it, or,
2) you couldn’t get the ‘spacer columns’ to work.
It’s just that I’m not entirely sure what you meant by “it” in “I actually managed to do it”.Managed to get what you wanted without using ‘spacer columns’ once but can't repeat it!
First one worked but cant repeat it on last row.

Thanks Garry, yes that’s a workaround. I actually managed to do it but tried to it again but wouldn’t work! Frustrating.

While creating and saving Styles may be useful and does get the job done, one may not want to add the momentarily-needed formatting to their Styles collection AND it would be far faster to be able to right-click and have a "clone formatting" or "format painter" (the latter being a Microsoft term for a format cloning function) added to the pop-up box that now only include a few basic actions (cut,copy, paste...). IMO, this is an easy fix and a big miss for Affinity.
Even faster (on Mac) Shift > Option and drag.

So what you are requesting is a styledropper.
Colour AND attributes would be helpful.

.I'm also beginning to think the Affinity is expensive
You’re joking right?
you Are comparing 20 years of development with 2 years. I remember the first version of InDesign didn’t equal its opposition (Quark) until about version 3.

No.
Hopefully your 'No' doesn't mean it will not be implimented in future versions.

Are there any plans in the future to allow Publisher to import video (or can you do it now?) and output as say, a PDF screen presentation, tutorial etc.?

Try the Reset Studio at the bottom.
Thank you. That fixed it! I must have used Hide Studio as a wrong keyboard shortcut or something.
Cant believe I missed the Reset, its staring me in the face on the screenshot above!
