Beautiful... thank you Walt.

After copy/paste from Word doc into Publisher the text formatting is retained only if I leave the font the same as in the Word doc. If I highlight a section and change to a defined Publisher style all the formatting goes away. How can I import Word text into my document and use a different font/style and not lose the Italic and bold characters?

Thanks. Have you upgraded to version 1.9.1? I'm still with 1.9.0 See my post above... I got it to work by removing all the master page assignments.

Still looking a master page situation. It seems I can apply master page margins to all pages only if the "replace" is checked. So the sequence I find works is to apply margin masters with replace checked then apply page number masters with replace NOT checked. This gives all pages margins and numbers.

After a bit of trouble-shooting I discovered the issue is related to the master pages. I cleared all the masters on all pages and after that I could switch between single page layout and facing page layout. There is some additional issue with the master pages as tried re-applying margin masters to the book and I cannot see them - (yes I have view masters checked). The page number masters show up as expected but no margins.

I created a book using "facing pages" and need to convert to single page for printer. When I go to "document setup" and deselect facing pages the program hangs. Publisher V 1.9.0 Mac OS10.11.6

Uploaded original file to DropBox Desktop Mac OS 10.11.6 Affinity Publisher 7.1.1 created original file - saved on both local disk and external backup hard drive...neither source file will load. There are a lot of linked images in this project which I can't delete of course. Don't worry about providing recovered file as I have recreated it in v1.9.0 using PDF which was exported correctly from original Publisher file. I've discovered one other older file that won't load as well.

I have determined that the problem apparently is with the file. I reinstalled v1.7 - which is the version used to create the file. When I tried to load the file the program did not crash but I got a "file corrupted" notice. Might put that same notice up with v1.9 when a corrupted file is encountered and not just crash the program. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Installed the beta 1.9.1with same result as 1.9.0 -- crashes at "loading document" I have a work-around. Fortunately I have a finished PDF which I can use for reference and have re-created the document in 1.0.9. Thanks for trying.

Appreciate your note but let me better explain. I got a program flag a few days ago when I opened v 1.8 Publisher that an update was available... I selected "upgrade and relaunch." It looked like all was successful, I now had version 1.9 directly from Affinity via the update. But when I tried to open an older project I got the program crash. So I need to know how to either revert to previous 1.8 - if that is even possible - or how to circumvent the crash so I can open my 1.8 project. Thanks.

I'm Mac OS 10.11.6 purchased from Affinity. Product Key CB5R-9DBP-DE**-**** If I download the 1.9 will it automatically recognize my original purchase or can I register with my existing Product Key?

I have a book project created last year with previous version of Publisher. When I try to open the file I see "loading file" at the top of normal layout, then after about 10 seconds the program closes with no further message or error. I've tried a backup (duplicate) version or the file as well. Before upgrade this file opened fine. I can open a different project file, so the new upgrade seems to not like just this particular older file - which I really need to access. So should I try downloading and re-nstalling 1.9.0 again from scratch.? Can I go back to previous version that created the file? Help!!

Old Bruce I have separate margins and numbers master in order to specify specific sets of margins. Page numbers are across the entire document, margins are different by sections.

I've discovered that when I add more page at end of a book I need to reapply the margin master with "replace existing" checked. Then I add the numbers master with the "replace existing" NOT checked and the formatting is as expected. The sequence is important as is the "replace existing" setting.
