Same for me with a Visa card. Yet I have no problem to buy with it on other sites. Too bad.

[Span Columns in Publisher 2 still missing?]

I am also very disappointed by that lack. I don't understand neither why Serif ignores that feature which is essential even vital for magazine publishers like me.

Because the workarounds written in this forum are very hard to use, and surely not elegant at all.

So I have to keep still Indesign. Too shame.

Pray to have that in v 2.1

[Box Text Style]

@hitesherger
Not possible, I think.

But you can insert a rounded box (by the appropriate tool), that you can easily transform to circle, then convert it to Box text (contextual menu).

It is perhaps not what you want but it is a workaround.

In Open Office, save your document as Microsoft Word document (docx).

Then Affinity is able to import docx.

[publisher word spacing]

Many thanks for your explanations

[publisher word spacing]

First is created by InDesign. Then I placed it in AfPub. Finally I exported from AfPub (2nd picture)

I don't own font (so it is not installed) which is used in InDesign.

Perhaps it is the reason why AfPub converts it in Arial ?

See also that the word "texte" is correctly treated, perhaps because it contains strokes, and then it is recognised bt AfPub as a graphical object instead of font

Sorry, I don't know how to display the pictures.

I saw same problem, under Publisher 1.8.2 / Windows with some pdf, not all of them.

Yet the pdf were all created by Adobe InDesign, so I presume it was perfect.

[Export to A4 pdf from A3 project in affinity publisher]

Bingo Wosven. C'est cela même.

It is exactly what I wanted.
Just a little issue : items on master page are not rescaled.

[Export to A4 pdf from A3 project in affinity publisher]

When I double click, the original A3 doc is opened, and then I can edit it.
But what I want is to be able to edit A4 doc, and leave original A3 unchanged.

I just found a half-solution :

1) Create new Af A4 file
2) File > Doc configuration > Prefer integrate images 
3) Import Af A3 doc
4) Double click in imported A3, which opens a window untitled "Integrate"
5) Edit it, and close window

It would be simpler if imported doc becomes, in the target, a scaled true AfPub doc, then normally editable.

Anyway, thanks Lagarto

The easiert method would be creating an A4 format document and then import your A3 document in it, and scale it to A4 (document boundaries).

Lagarto : when I import an A3 doc, it is imported as a single linked object. So I cannot edit that object. How can I do to be able to edit imported document ?

I know it is not CMA's wish who wants just export as A4 PDF. So I have a different needing.

It would help some people a lot if toolbars were customizable and those setups were saveable as presets. Aiffinity could even supply several setups for different tasks (preferably with panel setups – much like InDesign workplaces).

[IDML Format]

Hi BDeschênes

Your wish has been already asked several times

see here

but Affinity/Serif says nothing about it. 😥

[Export Text Only]

I presume that you know that : if your text is in one article, Ctrl-A selects the whole text through all text frames.

So, why are your 40+ paragraphs in several articles ? You have surely a good reason.

But, yes, here also, all line breaks are removed and replaces by an other separator, that I have to search/replace in my text editor.

Il would be useful to have that feature of text export in AfPub. And of course in other rich formats as rtf or so.

Yes, I can confirm in APub 1.82.620.

[French quotes error]

Yes, it should be automatic, otherwise we have to add them manually.

And it would be still better if they were inserted when importing text.

[Span Columns]

 Completely impractical otherwise.

Not practical but not completely impractical neither.

See dominik's workaround below. I checked it. Here it works.

But, yes, column span would be a very practical feature.

Span columns seems to be possible with the newly introduced Pinning feature. I would love to hear from the experts (and the other, too) if is what you've been asking for.

1. Create a document with a text frame that has multiple columns ... and some text in it.
2. Create another text frame that spans across at least two columns.
3. Set text wrap to 'Jump'.
4. Set pinning to 'Float'. Anchor the text frame to where you want it to be placed.
5. Add some text and style it in the way of a quote or header.

If you now add (or remove) some text above this floating text frame it spans across two columns. Maybe it needs some fine tuning but this looks promising to me. What do you think?

[I lost my apostrophe in a Publisher doc]

You have perhaps checked the case "Change straight quotes to typographic quotes" in Preferences/Auto-correct options.

Uncheck it and see.

 

[Publisher for Windows — Edit Text Style dialog improvements]

I think if you set a character style to "No change" for typeface and point size, applying it causes it to affect only the formatting you've assigned to it — excepting the underlying paragraph's point size and typeface.

I think so. For me, it is the reason to be of "No change".

[Move easily paragraphs]

14 hours ago, Lagarto said:

I could not find a way to do this in OfficeLibre, though, does it require a specific tool or command?

No, not specific tool. As soon as you are in a bulleted list or a numbered title, LibreOffice displays a toolbar with all tools to move up/down the current item, with or without subitems.

Check a list having paragraph style=bullet 1, or some titles having paragraph style=Title 1|2|... For titles, you have also to apply numbering of titles.

[Move easily paragraphs]

Good work, Lagarto. But I want just a shortcut key (or an icon tool) to move a numbered paragraph up or down, including sub-items.

Libreoffice has a tool to do that as soon as you are in a hierarchical or bulleted paragraph, MsWord also perhaps but I have not checked it.

 

[Move easily paragraphs]

Thank you Lagarto

But I don't want sort lines, but move them in any order (sorry, my exemple was not clear).. And copy/pasting towards or from Word/LibreOffice loses attributes. Even bullets are lost so, all the more reason, hierarchy is no more respected.

I believe that there is no good trick for my wish. Inside Publisher there is no way, and outside result is not good.

 

[Move easily paragraphs]

Hi all

Is there (in Publisher) an easy way to move easily some paragraphs, particularly with lists ?

For example I have this list :

1. apples
2. pears
3. cherrys

and I want to get

1. apples
2. cherrys
3. pears

Indeed lists can be larger.

Of course I can select each paragraph with mouse then move them, but it is rather tedious to select a paragraph then move it exactly at the beginning of another paragraph.

I'd want keyboard shortcut to do that.

More : if I have lists with several levels, it would be better to move by one key one item and its sub-items.

What do you think ?

[Objectstyles like textstyles]

Sure, it is also a very necessary feature.

[Table Continuation]

It is also important for me to have that feature...
