Interior Book Design

Thanks, great proposal. Meanwhile, I've discovered the No Break option, already, and use it as a workaround.

I've spotted the following problem, see image: (Sorry, I cannot upload the image. I try to type it:) Behaviour in Publisher 2.4: Er blickte mich mit seinen treuen Augen an und sagte: „Hallo! “ How it should be and how it is in Publisher 1.10: Er blickte mich mit seinen treuen Augen an und sagte: „Hallo!“ Bottom line: The closing (German) quotation mark incorrectly breaks after a full stop or exclamation mark ... which makes it extremly difficult to typeset special kinds of books such as novels.

I opened a novel, typeset in v1. In v2, many closing quotation marks, that once were at the end of the line, now break to the next line, see image attached. And no, there is no blank between the full stop and the quotation mark, of course not.

That, in fact, is a very good workaround, thank you!

I know, but after editing the Default profile the name of the Profile switches to <Custom> and next time Default shows the same, unwanted behavior, again. I want it once and for all, Walt!

To my mind, the preflight function is overzealous. Spelling mistakes shouldn't even create warnings. Spelling check is done by my colleagues who do the copy editing/proof reading. It should be done in a word processor, not in a DTP app. Therefore, I would like to get rid of those annoying warnings for good! How can I do that? I know that I can create my own profile and that I can create even categories. But that means I have to choose this profile/category first. For me, this is one click to many. I want it out of the box, by default. Is this possible? Maybe by somehow (but how?) changing the settings of the Default category? Can I break the habit of always creating warnings in regard to (alleged) spelling mistakes? Thanks!

Nicholas, not sure if this is a good idea. You get automated responses only and might wait for weeks for an answer.

I'm growing more and more frustrated. On 30th of November, I ordered the Publisher WorkBook, together with some t-shirts. The t-shirts arrived a few days later, the book did not. On 5th of January I wrote a kind e-mail to support. Almost instantly, I've received an automated reply: "Thanks for getting in touch. Due to high amounts of e-mails there will be a delay in replying and we expect to get back to you within 72 hours during the working week." Yes, they did. On 9th of January, I've received another automated mail: " We are sorry that your email to Affinity Orders has been in the queuing system for more than 72 Hours. Due to the high number ..." That's it. Automated responses, no book. WHAT'S UP, GUYS? PLEASE BE SO KIND AS TO SEND MY BOOK. AFTER ALL, YOU HAVE RECEIVED PAYMENT, ALREADY. THANKS!

Well, same with me. Ordered Publisher book on 30th of November, not yet received. No response to my email. Very frustrating, indeed!

No, I did not have optical kerning turned on in InDesign. And it doesn't explain why TextMaker 2018 (not 2016) does such a great job, a program that is not know for excellent typography.

Thanks, Gitta, interesting, so, do you think the font is wrong and needs to be mended? This is nothing an "ordinary" user can do. Word 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 displays it wrongly, too, so does LibreOffice.Writer and QuarkXPress 2018. InDesign CC 2019/2020, however, does a great job. Is it something the font vendor needs to fix or is it the app's fault? Kind regards Johann

Palatino Linotype is a popular font, both on Macs and PCs. However, Publisher (and maybe all Affinity apps) don't seem to be able to unleash the full potential of this font as far as kerning is concerned. Look: 1.) Kerning is switched off 2.) Kerning is switched on (in German word processor TextMaker, but in InDesign CC 2019/2020, it looks exactly the same) -------------------- 3.) Kerning in Affinity Publisher, working only partially By the way: Word is not better than Publisher, nor is QuarkXPress 2018 or InDesign CS6.

Thanks, I'm not the only one. Great.

I have a two page document and scrolling on the last page seems to be inhibited, no matter whether by mouse wheel or scrollbar. Preview mode is on. If it is off, scrolling works. I'm using 1.8 on Windows 10.

For me, simple letters like in PagePlus, InDesign or QuarkXPress just do. Letters that can be switched on and off. But I need it, urgently.
