As long as you’re not using an old version of Publisher, there’s no need copy/paste or export/import anything. The file format shared by all apps in the Affinity suite means that you can simply open your *.afdesign file in APub.

I don’t think square brackets have ever worked with German keyboards, and I don’t know whether it’s even possible to make them work.

I believe DrawPlus does actually use MipMaps for rendering, but the other differences you mention are hugely important.

I wonder whether the OP — who last visited these forums more than five years ago — will ever see the answer! I note that @MBP2017 became a member in 2015, which makes me curious about where the 2017 in the username came from.

I note that you’re using iPadOS 17, which is still in beta. Serif hasn’t yet issued compatibility updates for the Affinity apps, and there are known issues with font selection.

There’s no need to share the document. Your screenshot shows that you’ve hidden that layer, presumably by accident. Tap on the visibility control to unhide it.

Or rather, they’re Greek characters for the English language text! Αρτβοαρδ1 = Artboard1 ΥΠΠΕΡ = UPPER ΡΙΓΗΤ = RIGHT ΧΟΡΝΕΡ = CORNER

“Respectively”, as normally used in English, means “individually and in the order already mentioned”; e.g. “Giants and dwarves are large and small, respectively.” Your example of “and/or” covers exactly that situation.

Furthermore, even if your printer does support ‘borderless’ printing you may need to configure it specifically to do so.

If printed at 400ppi, the output would be 64 x 97.7 inches (or more than 5 x 8 feet). No one is going to view something of that size from less than several feet away, so the pixel dimensions are massively bigger than they need to be for any practical purposes.

I’m not Garry (obviously!) but your “full screen” screenshot is much wider than it is tall, and there are no window buttons (Minimize, Maximize/Restore, and Close) visible in the top right-hand corner.

‘en-ph’?? Heres a locale-independent link: https://support.apple.com/HT213405

Why do you need lines, and why do you want to print via Inkscape? You may be able to print directly from Affinity Designer if your printer driver offers a tiling option.

‘Convert to Curves’ will give you curves that you can edit with the Node Tool (but the text will no longer be editable as text).

All ‘Affinity on Desktop’ questions go here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/5-affinity-on-desktop-questions-macos-and-windows/ Press the blue ‘Start new topic’ button, or use the link that I’ve incorporated into this sentence.

If you don’t need to keep the text as editable text, you can ‘Convert to Curves’ and then select the curves with the Node Tool and change all of the nodes to ‘Smooth’ (so that any ‘Sharp’ nodes are no longer sharp).

Typeface is another term for Font Family; i.e. a collection of fonts which are variations (thin, regular, bold, heavy, italic, bold italic, etc) on the basic design.

Welcome, Gary! You probably know Affinity Designer’s lead developer @MattP (Matt Priestley) from his time at Xara a couple of decades ago.

Automatically means that the modifications take place without any further action from you. The word that you’re looking for is simultaneously. Select the text and increase the tracking value. You could try playing around with stroke properties, but you’re likely to get better results by using a typeface that includes a Thin style. Curvy (or more curvy) is very subjective! Can you post an example? You can use the ‘Transform each’ feature to do things such as rotating multiple characters simultaneously.
