I Added some pages and they came in locked. I suppose this is a safety feature?
I haven't found out how to reset the default 'Locked' behaviour though ... I've looked through Preferences ....

is my problem. I guess this means it can't be resized? (it can't)
So how have I done this and how do I undo it please?

Yes, that did it.
Thanks v much Mike. Those are associated fonts, are they? Is that something I should have known as a Windows thing for the last thirty years??
Honestly, if only Affinity would do a proper manual instead of relying on limited videos, it would save a lot of people a lot of time. Me, mainly. -
I use Segoe UI Black as the title font for a newsletter I produce. Now I come to do the first one in Affinity, instead of PagePlus, Published can't find that font. I see elsewhere in forums that this is not just me.
Here is the font available in Word -
and here it isn't in Publisher -

How can I get round this please? You gather, this is a font I need!
Thanks in advance,
David -
Yes that's it. As I said, just silly ... I've been grouping stuff in PP so it's just another carry-over.
Thanks Joachim_L and Walt. -
I've just copied the relevant page.
If I click on the broken pot image and remove the text wrapping, the text in the grey box appears. The 'Ignore text wraps' and other options in Text Frame>General are greyed out. If I click on the main text frame they are live.Something silly I've done, no doubt, but if you can tell me I'd be obliged!

Hang on - it's greyed out ...

What would we do without you Walt?
Thanks

I want to wrap text around an image, then superimpose a text window on the image - but the wrapping hides the text. Thus -

The image needs to have the main text wrapping round it but the caption has to be superimposed - yet the text disappears!
I can understand the logic for this but is there a workaround?
Thanks.

Walt - thank you for taking the time to answer this pretty basic question.
I'm sure you're right, but when I clicked on the frame all I could see were the usual blue 'handles' which was no help at all.
I've deleted it, or I'd show you - but thanks, I know now. -
What are the red dots that appear (sometimes) at opposite corners of a text frame please?
Scouring the Help file proved unsuccessful.
Thanks.
