    Yes! Hard to work with the beta version and do a real evaluation when I cannot enter and use my WORD (.doc) files. Is there really a problem in implementing this?

    I dropped down the snapping menu, changed the amount of snapping ---- and now the menu won't close or go away -------at all!! Not even after quitting and reopening the app.

    Once I found the "Character" panel, converting and working with fonts was a cinch. And I love the fact that my paragraph styles are placed in a drop-down, not in a floating panel (I look forward to finding a way to remove some of the default styles). This beta has abundant pros and cons; let's not rush the marketable release!

    I've not discovered a way to actually "crop" a photo once it's inserted in a document. I can resize and "stretch" it, but I often need to do some cropping. I've tried every conceivable key combination with no luck. Any suggestions?

    OK. It's a nuisance to have to open every .docx file, but copying the text and pasting it into a text box works. It works even better than placing an RTF file. Users of the beta version are going to have to resort to numerous work-arounds.

    Can you tell me what formats, other than RTF, maybe PDF, can be used?
  16. Phil Martin
    Of course! But I'm given a number of WORD (.docx) files, and conversion to an acceptable format is a time-consuming nuisance. I'm sure Publisher accepts a number of formats; I just wish to know which ones.

    I need to import .docx files and do not want to resave them as RTF. Briefly, please -- what file formats can be used for import or drag-and-drop?

    I need to create pages with multiple columns that work as text columns (boxes). These should apply to each page with an option to remove columns for an individual page.

    permission denied

    I experienced the same problem but now understand what happened. I upgraded my font manager to SuitcaseFustion8, and that upgrade added too many new fonts (probably the 2000+ "Google Fonts" wa the killer). Removing the Suitcase app solved the problems I was having with both Photo and Designer.

    I, too, am getting persistent "permission denied" messages, making Affinity Photo totally useless. I downloaded the 10-day trail app -- and it worked just fine. Reloaded Affinity Photo and continued to have permission denied. Since this seems to be a problem experienced by others, a solution is essential.

    Affinity Photo's perspective layer suddenly has stopped functioning. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot?
