Okay update to the above - I found the post by Harpenstreng and my issue as well was high def screen. Thank you Harpenstreng!!!

I know I was not supposed to rely on Publisher for important files but I loved it so much and could use it on both my work mac and home pc that I did anyway. Now the new file for PC wont even load to install. I am freaking out - any hints of what I can do to get it? The last version will not work as it keeps telling me that that version testing is done and I have to get the new one. I don't want to go back to quark express please someone I use windows 10 and downloaded the latest - I have redownloaded and tried 4 times. I click on it to open the .exe file and it shows the publisher icon then immediately disappears. That is all.

Thanks - I was confused because this is what the header says - It doesn't specify which one. I will go to the link... Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows) Follow 142 If you have any questions about using Affinity Desktop Software - then post here.

Thank you Walt for the kind answer. I am obviously in the wrong place for this question. It is not a bug and I am aware of the red dot. I have used other software in the past that showed all the errors and located them for you. I had hoped that would be so in AFPub as well. I will go to the feature request for that.

Is there a way to view all errors within a publication like finding where the overflow text is located? Or overlapping items?

I would like to request that a calendar be included in Publisher for both PC and MAC.

I cant get text to wrap around shape or image.

I can't seem to get text to wrap around a shape or an image on wither Windows or Mac.

The Text Ruler is activated but no longer appears on Mac.

You are the BEST! Thanks for all your help. That was the problem. Yahoo...

I actually did that - Here are two images. Thanks

LIFE SAVER!!! thanks - that fixed a lot of the wonkiness

YEP - I get the complexity and appreciate it. I have the work around so I can use that. To be quite honest even in this somewhat Raw stage it is so much nicer to use than QuarkXPress which is what I have to use since as it is the next affordable program for using on both PC and Mac. Not slamming QX it just thinks different than me.

Also - do you know if there is a place to choose font substitutions? I went to font manager and there was no font listed that looks like the original "times" type font (serif) to choose to make a default choice. All the fonts listed were sans serif or funky ones I use for kids stuff. thanks

I assume it will eventually - I was just reporting it as a bug. But if it will not that something to think about.

I have to import two pdf files every week for a bulletin. - I should mention that I also posted this in Windows bugs as I use both OS and it happens in both. When I do the file in Publisher has been changed - I am guessing because the pdf has a different font than my system. I am able to do this in QuarkXPress, Corel Dray and Page Plus with out the distortion so I am not sure what I need to do in Publisher or if it will be something fixed in upcoming versions but wanted to report it. I have to convert the pdf to an image as a workaround but it does not print as nicely as the pdf. Thanks

Me too - I hope to switch from QuarkXpress (which is cumbersome for me) to this product because I can use in both PC and MAC which i am forced to switch back and forth. I LOVED PagePlus and hope for all the features +. I have to have merge and I don't mind having to change a CSV file to another extension like PagePlus - But i HAVE to be able to merge and not like QXPRESS with code.

thanks!

Awesome - I tried that at work (MAC) and it would never bring up the ruler. Here at home (PC) it is there. I am soooooooo excited. Thanks

Thanks - I did figure this much out. I wish I could click on the ruler like Serif Page Plus. I Loved that. I appreciate the great tutorial.

I sure hope there is a better way to set tab stops in Affinity Publisher than guessing the measurements? I cant get them to set that way either. I know this is beta but in that case use this as a need for future builds. Thanks

I want to set a default that automatically chooses my specifications for "create new" is it possible?
