Vertical alignment of text
Rallef replied to Rallef's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Thanks again, you guys are great 🙂 In my case, "Leading override" works perfectly, thank you@Return I think, to use "leading" from paragraph I would need to press "Enter" after each letter, so they are in separate lines? That's not what I want... Have a nice one everybody 🌞 -

HI everybody, thank you so much for your answers - I really appreciate it 🙂 Unfortunately it's all about workarounds, so the function I was looking for really does not exist. That's sad, because Corel, Adobe, etc., even Microsoft Publisher can do this, and I just couldn't believe it's missing in Publisher... Anyway: Narrow frames did the job so far, but I'm not happy with it, because I can't find a way to change the vertical letter-spacing (just a little)... Regards Ralf -
Hi everyone, I just spent half an hour to try and find a way to align text vertically in Publisher (V2.1). Then another half hour to find out about it in help and forums. I bought all of the V1 Progs as soon as they came out, then updated to V2 universal. I'm writing a textbook with many pictures right now and - of course - I use Publisher to "set it up" (is that the correct expression? - I'm German... ;-)) Anyway: I need vertical text on some pages - and I can't find it. That's really disappointing... Is it really true, that a Version 2+ of a Desktop Publishing Software can not do this??? I can't believe it. Thanks for any help.

Thanks again - but I won't be able to find a dictionary including all the words I need anyway... So the possibility to just add a simple wordlist to an existing dictionary - oder the dictionary.propcol - would be very helpful. I'm nearly done adding all the words now - hopfully there won't be any more obstacles so time-consuming... Best Ralf

Ah - THANK YOU - that's something 🙂 So I can transfer the dictionary to the laptop. That helps for not having to do it all again (still on it)... Regarding the hunspell: I copied an open-office .dic (should be hunspell?) to the ...\Affinity\Common\2.0\Dictionaries folder, but that didn't work either... Ralf

Spellcheck and dictionaries using different devices

Hi Walt, thanks for the reply. As I wrote, it's Windows - I just mistyped slashes instead of backslashes. Sorry...

Hi everyone, I'm an Affinity 2.0 user working with Windows and I'm german - hopefully I'm gonna find the right words I'm writing a technical book with many pictures and many words unknown to standard spellcheck... Until now I wrote in MS-Word and already added the words to the Office custom.dic spellbook. I work on a desktop and on a powerful laptop computer. MS Office syncs the spellbooks, so everything is ok on both devices. Now I'd rather work on the book in publisher and - of course - all the "added" words (in MS-Word) are unknown to Publisher. As there is the possibiliy to put .dic files in an additional folder (...Data/Affinity/Common/2.0/Dictionaries) I copied the Office spellbook to there - with no effect. After tryting for half an hour or so, I decided to just add all the missing words manually. That took more than an hour until now - and I don't have the half of it done... 😞 Besides the work I already did, I would have to do it all over again on the laptop??? Definitively NOT! There has to be a way to add the words or the custom.dic spellbook?! The additional Dictionary-Folder has to be there for a reason? Thanks a lot for help 🙂 Ralf

pdf import with unexpected results
Rallef replied to Rallef's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
@wonderings Nope, just Photoshop... @broadcast Good Idea, but the result after opening the "printed" pdf is similar to the exported pdf. @Catshill I don't know about a GhostScript Method but I'm afraid it won't help for cropping single lines out of my pdf to convert into images? pdf2png might help though - I'll have a look... Is there a way to send all these coplaints directly to Serif - to maybe get an answer if they plan to adress this pdf issue? Thank y'all and greetings :-) -
pdf import with unexpected results
Rallef replied to Rallef's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
I need to make images out of the .pdfs to put them in a MS-Word Document, so it doesn't have to be Publisher, could be Photo or Designer - but all three Affinity Programs share the same problem. Apparently these issues are around for a while, so it's about time Serif does something if they want to keep their newly found customers... They even advertise PDF handling, so it should be implicit it works! -
Hi everyone, seems I'm not the only one with pdf-problems. I decided to make it a new topic anyway - this is urgent! Like many other musicians I use Finale to write music. I need to put some scores in a publication and the only way to export is .pdf - and no possibility to change any settings. So I wanted to place that score in Publisher - but what I got has nothing to with the file I created. The interesting thing is: In the preview (while opening) it looks ok. I am not happy, that I still have to go back to my old photoshop CS 6 to handle things like that. 😞 I attached the original pdf made with Finale - and what Publisher made of it. And yes, all the fonts are installed and available - and with PS all is good... BTW: I bought Aff. Photo, Desinger and Publisher and I like working with the progs very much - but things like that are very annoying (I tried for more than an hour to get it right)... Please help - Thanks a lot Ralf Finale.pdf Aff Publisher.pdf

*GEEZ* - As usual, I found a solution directly after writing my first post :rolleyes: Resetting all user preferences did the trick… So I'm back to printing... BUT - the problem with the A3 printer persists. Desinger won't take the margins from the chosen printer, but always takes the margins from my Standard-printer. While trying to change that, the first crash appeared. I have to admit, it's an old HP Deskjet 1280, with no official Win 10 support, but other programs handle it just fine. Maybe I found something: In the Document Setup I can select the Page Preset with Dimensions, Color, MARGINS - and there "Retrieve Margin from Pinter", but which Printer? Even if i go to "print" and select the A3 printer and afterwards try "Retrieve Margin from Printer" it only gets the margins from my standard printer, not the one I want to use for the document... :huh:

Hi folks @ Affinity, thanks a lot for bringing this wonderful program to Windows :-) I'm a "follower" from germany, using/testing the german version of Designer from the first beta on, but just now registered because of a problem... Not sure, if this is the right place to post - feel free to move it... I can't print anymore at all. :( While working on a Windows 10 machine with 3 printers connected (A4 Multifunction, A4 Laser b/w, and Inkjet A3) with no printing issues so far using Corel, Photoshop, Office, whatever.., Desinger crashes immediately after hitting print. :o It worked until I tried to print something on the A3 printer, but Designer failed to accept the printer-frames. I tried different things - changing the default printer and such - until it crashed when I took another try. I hoped, that installing the new beta would solve the problem, but I still cannot print anything, because of that fatal crash... Desinger tells me that a crash-report is being sent at every start... Any Idea would be appreciated... Thanks a lot - and I hope I could make myself understood (my english is surely not the best...) Regards Ralf
