100% agree with above; I spent some time setting up a table and then after about an hour's work, realized the table's text was ever-so-slightly lighter than the rest of the document text. Could not figure out what I had done so I started doing command-Z, undoing things step by step until the text turned normal again. The last command said "undo set global opacity" (or similar) and that led me to this thread. I've searched for that phrase and/or term in the built-in Help and the online manual and I get "no results found" so I was pretty lost for a while. So I have to work from the command-undo spot before I accidentally hit whatever key I hit. And to build on the above, something global like this at least needs an "are you sure?" dialog pop-up before enacting.

Want to switch full-time from Adobe InDesign to Affinity Publisher and the inability to span tables across multiple pages is the reason I can't. I do general page layout work for engineering & related firms and it's a must-have element. Adding my vote here that it should be moved way up the priority list.

Coming here in July 2023 using Affinity Publisher 2 -- is this still a wish list item? I can't find any information other than these old posts.

My only comment about Publisher is that I've mentioned it to more than a handful of people since I learned of it and every one of them said "oh, that Microsoft app?" or "I've been using it for years". I would think a name like Affinity Layout or Affinity Pagesmith would set it apart a bit more.
