[welcome screen/Start up screen]

Stupid question I know...I turned the welcome/start-up screen off in Affinity Publisher a while ago,  I wish now to turn it back on again.  Where can I find the tick box to do this please? Cheers John

@Oufti.  Thanks for the suggestion I had tried this site but they are all at a price.  Cheers John

[Publisher templates]

Good evening to all.  Are there any free Serif Affinity Publisher templates to be found please, I am seeking one for a straightforward  4/6 page newsletter ?  Cheers John

[Master page Affinity Publisher]

Ok @MikeTO Looks like I will have to find some sort of workaround☹️.  Thanks very much for getting back.

[Master page Affinity Publisher]

Good afternoon.  I have created a document with two master pages. Some of the pages within the Document rely on master B (A blank table with a few inserted texts).  When I alter the width of one of the columns within the table on master B, this sadly is not reflected on the pages that currently rely on Master B.  is there a function somewhere to update the master on the page to reflect the changes to master B please? If not how can I overcome this?  Cheers John

[Banner text]

@anto That's great thank you for treating an old man gently and the explanation.  Cheers John

[Banner text]

@anto Thank you for this. Just what I am after. Are you able to outline the stages in more detail please? I will be using AD.  Thank you John

[Banner text]

Good afternoon.  Can anybody explain how I can best recreate the banner and text please?  Either in AP or AD.  Many thanks John

[TOC in Publisher]

I have created a TOC but it seems to put a paragraph return in between lines (A). I amended it with a shift return and on screen looks fine (B).  However when going to pre-flight it shows an error and a fix.  When I click on the fix it reverts to a larger spacing (A)between entries. Is there a way of resolving this please?  Cheers John.  Update think I have resolved this updated the paragraph and all appears to be Ok now.

[Drop caps align centre]

Thanks for the suggestion.  Cheers John

[Drop caps align centre]

Is it possible to have a dropped cap align centred with my text. I can only seem to get things to work with a left align text

 

[Text Style]

@MikeTO Thanks for the quick response it would appear that the PDF file might be the problem because all I get with that is "new style". when I create a new AP file and text box all works as you have shown. I have the hardback manual but that was not much help either. So will download your free manual (with thanks) and press on.  It maybe I will have to create a new file and copy and paste the body text for my original.  Thanks very much John

[Text Style]

Good afternoon I am converting a song book PDF from PagePlus and then create a new TOC In AP ver2.  I trying to apply a text style of heading1 on the song title but I cannot seem to find anywhere to do this within Affinity Publisher.  Can anybody please assist on where I might find the list of of options such as body text etc. Cheers John

[Wrapping paper]

[Page hint or sticky note.]

Have the programmers considered allowing for a non printable page hint for how you have done something within the document (such as in PagePlus) or sticky note to all of the 3 programs.  I for one would find this extremely useful.

Or an area such as the Assets where you could store notes?

@walt.farrell suggested a workaround but I could not use that in Affinity Photo

Cheers John

 

 

[Burnt edges]

Hi @GarryP As requested. I did this in Filter Forge.

[Burnt edges]

[Prism calendar]

@GarryP. Sadly I searched for the original post but I cannot find it using the "prism calendar" as the search option.  Update on searching back it would seem the @v_kyr was the modifier the original idea and have messaged him.  Cheers John

[Affinity Photo *.exe file]

Good afternoon.  I have two programs (FastStone Capture and Irfanview) where I want to add Affinity Photo as the external editor. Sadly I cannot find the *.exe file to action this in program files.  Can somebody please point me to where I can find it please? Win11. Cheers John

[Transparency in fill]

I am trying to recreate this so that I can use it as a lower third in my NLE and for the life of me I cannot see how to make the fill fade to a transparency as shown.  Any help or advise would be most welcome either in APhoto or Designer.  Cheers John UPDATE after playing around with a gradient fill I did not realize you could alter the opacity of the individual nodes. So it looks as if I may have cracked it.
