  1. Several problems have come in the last few days. I'll mention all in case this helps diagnose: 1. I have been going back and forth between Publisher and Photo, so this may have something to do with it/them crashing several times in the last 3 days (or so). Anyone else have this happening? 2. I was trying to export from Publisher to a .jpg and it messaged me that that file format is not supported! 3. May not be related, but also today found when I used the pen to create a text box, the outline of the confining line was printing! I can't make it disappear! 4. This may well be unrelated, but I created an image including an area with a fully transparent background, and when it was exported to .jpg, the background showed up as very light yellow. When I printed it letting the printer manage the color, the problem went away. Edition Windows 10 Home Version 21H2 Installed on ‎9/‎17/‎2020 OS build 19044.2130 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4180.0 Device name DESKTOP-1S4QFTT Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB Manufacturer: DELL Product ID 00325-96097-23713-AAOEM System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display The attached images demonstrate the message about not exporting to .jpg and the yellowish background in the picture which is set into a publisher file.
  2. I second the motion that we get the ability to change colors of rulers, margins, etc.
  3. Further info: Task Manager shows the power usage is around 15% while this is happening. I don't remember the CPU use.
  4. honeybee.afphotoI'm on Win 10, 0.19043. Build 19043. Running Photo 1.10.4.1198. When I try to refine a selection, it hangs up. After minutes, I run out of patience before it crashes, and turn off the program. It's happening repeatedly - I haven't gotten it to complete the process yet. Based on what the person before me said, it doesn't look like it would help to reinstall the program. ? At least 2 different photos. Dragonfly image: the .jpg original is 8.41 MB, 4288x2848. The afphoto version is 19,222 KB. Honeybee image: original .jpg is 2000x3000px, 1,349KB. The .afphoto version is 4,555KB. I would have been working in it to refine the selection. I'd upload the photos, but it seems the paperclip icon below has the word "Loading..." after it, and it's not accepting any uploads. dragonfly-crop.afphoto
  5. To LibreTraining: THANK YOU! I couldn't understand why Windgings was not transferring when other fonts came out OK. I will try your suggestion on Segoe UI.
  6. Thanks, Guys! You have been very informative. On not using the "subset fonts" option in the export to PDF -- wow. The half-sheet version goes from 70kb to 1,246 kb! That's 17.8 times as large! Ouch! Maybe I can use a PNG picture of a checkbox, and manually place it. But Affinity really does need to fix this!
  7. RC-R: Thanks, but I'm on Windows 10, current version, being auto-updated. So it's not just a problem on MACs. In my computer, it's not showing the bullets in the very program that MADE the PDF, from the .afpub doc itself. If I open the .pdf and look at the non-bulleted items, the text styles have been not copied into this document. If I import them and reapply the style, the bullets show up. Then, since it's now back in .afpub format, I re-export it to .pdf, and the .pdf has no bullets. There seems to be no way I can get the bullets to show up in the program that created the .pdf, BUT some other programs DO show them. I tell ya, I'm thinking of springing for something that doesn't have as many problems, although I hate to not support Serif.
  8. Thank you all! The PDF viewer that doesn't show the boxes is Affinity Publisher itself. But thanks for the suggestion to try a different PDF viewer. It looks OK in Firefox! Why can't Publisher show me what's there?? I cold-rebooted and restarted Publisher. Still doesn't show the bullet boxes in a PDF created by Publisher from Publisher's own .afpub document.

So it looks like other people will be able to see the doc correctly, but I can't, in the program that created it. I will try reinstalling Publisher.
  10. I have made a text style that creates a Wingdings check box at the start of "Bulleted list". I add a tab after the bullet (too lazy to make it add its own tab in the stylesheet). It's fine until I export to PDF. The bullet boxes disappear. Is there a work-around? Membership-2up-Form.pdf Membership-2up-Form.afpub
  11. This has happened to me several times in the last few days. I can not group objects. Whenever I try to lasso them and use Control/G, the text sizes grow perhaps 8x to 10x larger, and destroy the layout. Also, I have "Show margins" checked, and they don't show. I tried unselecting it and reselecting it, in the View tab. No help. I'm on Windows 10 x64, 19041.04. Using Affinity PUblisher 1.9.0.932
  12. I'm using Publisher, the newest version that I just installed, and it does not put an outline around a rectangle, but when I use the "fx" outline, it makes the "outline" a solid fill in the whole box. (at least, on screen - I haven't tried printing yet). Am I doing something wrong? The images below show: (Left image) the solid color on the rectangle is supposed to be an OUTLINE, not a fill. (Right image) the settings. Help!
  13. Thanks much, Bruce, but I'm in Windows 10 x64, and that doesn't seem to work for me. I've had to re-configure it as "inches" SO many times tonight, when it's the same document I already saved with "inches"!
