WOW! Who could have thought this this generous offer would meet with negativity? Affinity continues to set standards.

So will all loyal customers -  been with Serif since PagePlus Release 1 in 1990 - be getting a refund? I await Affinity's generosity! 

[We want to help (again)]

Having paid full price for the apps as an early adopter I find late-comers getting it half price galling! No incentive to pay the full price in future just wait and you can have it discounted! Not really a good way to support existing long term loyal customers is it!

So advertising to loyal customers that late-comers get it at a knock down price is hardly good promotion!

[We want to help (again)]

I have just received your completely unnecessary email of 19 January "We’re here to help – use our apps free for 90 days" WHY I am a registered used of all three apps plus add ons. I do not need to be offered a 90  Day Free Trial, and 50% off all apps etc.

Unnecessary emails clog up email in boxes and will tend in the future to just dump email from affinity without reading them.

Someone in your marketing departments needs to be sacked.

Please put a stop on this type of email to existing customers.

[No Text Wrap Dialogue Box]

[No Text Wrap Dialogue Box]

Hi 

Publisher release 1.7.2.481 on Windows 10.

On selecting text wrap, whilst the text of a frame wraps I am not getting the pop up dialogue box so I can adjust position of wrap from image. At the moment am working around using an empty rectangle with no fill or stroke to fool the text to be where I want it.

Have tried rebooting pc and Publisher but to no avail.

Any suggestions? Is a fix on the way?

Thanks

Michael

[Printing Issue]

Hi, release version 283

On printing A5 document on A4 as 2UP doublesided-short for perfectbind output, having saved as a custom setup on next print cycle on calling the saved setup I find that the settings have reverted to single sided from double sided-short, and the collate check box not accessible until doublesided-short reinstated then can tick the collate box.

At first I thought I'd done something wrong but the issue manifests over and over.Thnaks

Hi Walt,

Many thanks for coming back to me. I manged to resolve the matter. The Word file I was copying and pasting from was set up with both English and USA dictionaries - with USA as the primary. Thus it seems it was conflicting with Publisher UK. So I stripped the USA dictionary from Word and everything started working after I cut ans pasted to a fresh Publisher file.

Again thanks for your assistance.

Regards

Michael

But I did above 25 mins ago. I uploaded three images showing the language setup as requested by Walt.

Alfred thanks but as I said I already tried that. It doesn't go away and the spell checker doesn't open a dialogue to suggest correct spelling/learn etc

Hi Have English United Kingdom in all three locations, screen shots below. I notice that on the UI screen there was an asterisk requesting a restart to apply. I have 1) restarted Publisher no change, 2) changed to English US and then back again with restarts following each and a complete reboot of my pc. On doing letter discovered windows lurking is background with an update thus delay in getting back to you.

It seems the restart asterisk doesn't go away after a restart.

Thanks

Thanks

[Booklet Printing issue]

Alfred - we've all tried various settings, the question is can you create a booklet from 4 A5 pages? If so what settings have you used please.

Also here footnotes/end notes essential in book publishing

[Paragraph styles]

Hi - great beta

Can I add my voice as a small publisher of books. The InDesgn GREP in paragraph function is very helpful, it allows text within double quotes to be italicised, text withing square brackets to be a couple of point sizes smaller so it has less impact on the eye when reading, and lots of other helpful within paragrapgh style mods.

 

Thanks 

[Print (Booklet) flip short/long side not working]

same issue here

[Booklet Printing issue]

falling star - Thanks, yes I can do that but really wanted to 'print out of the box'. Booklet printing was just the start, I need also to do 'N up' printing as a publisher of books, and it is the same with that as well. Hoping this is just a minor glitch in the duplex flip on short side routine which can soon be fixed, that is if I'm not missing something crucial.

[Booklet Printing issue]

Hi

Great its finally first impressions excellent.

I have a problem with printing a booklet. Create 4 a5 pages, and number, then print as booklet, - the icon shows the right orientation of pages, but no matter what choice I make in double sided it always flips on the long edge. Have been back to PagePlus9 and tried there works as expected autoduplex flip on short side.

Am I missing something?
