    Welcome to the Affinity Forums, Bri-ko. :) Affinity Designer doesn't support multiple pages yet. As a workaround, you can put each 'page' on its own artboard and then print each artboard on a separate sheet; if you export the entire document to PDF, you'll get one artboard on each page of the PDF file, ordered from the bottom to the top of the layer stack (i.e. the order in which you would usually add objects to your document).

    Choose the Frame Text Tool, click to select a shape on the page, click inside the selected shape to convert it to a text frame and then type or paste at the text cursor.

    The old 'Redo' shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+Z. You don't type the word 'Ctrl', you hold down the Ctrl key. (C is the default shortcut for the Corner Tool.)

    Fun to watch, but difficult to take in all the detail at that speed! I found that I had to keep pausing the video to get a proper look at it.

    You're welcome, Terry. You'll get plenty of help, if you need it, from Serif's PagePlus forum.

    You're welcome, Martin. :)

    This forum seems to have issues with embedded YouTube videos, but I could see the URLs in the quoted post when composing this reply. The first video is here and the second one is here.

    My apologies, Terry. I had intended to include this link in my previous post: http://www.serif.com/pageplus/offer As you can see, the offer price for X8 is a third of the full price for X9. The upgrade discount is not far short of 40%.

    Thanks, gentlemen. :)

    Now that's what I call a result!!

    Some fonts are incorrectly shown as 'Segoe UI' in the dropdown list and display as Arial when selected. Dingbat font names are still displayed using the font itself instead of something legible (e.g. Segoe UI or Arial). I've annotated the attached screenshot with the names that should appear. MT Extra and MT Symbol are MathType fonts; NWC2STD2, like NWCV15 listed immediately below it, came with NoteWorthy Composer 2 Demo, which I downloaded in the wake of this discussion three months ago. Affinity Photo on Windows beta build 1.5.0.35 exhibits exactly the same problems as Affinity Designer on Windows beta build 1.5.0.35.

    No. PPX9 currently has some bugs which are waiting to be addressed in a final patch (probably not before the end of this year, since Serif are concentrating on getting Affinity Publisher out as soon as possible). PPX8 is currently better value, and as a registered user of X8 you will qualify for a large enough discount on X9 that the total cost of both should be less than the full price of X9 on its own. We've been told that the price will be the same as for the Mac versions. I believe we can also expect an introductory discount when they first become available to buy. These forums seem to be the primary support channel, and I couldn't find an email address on the main Affinity pages. Try support@seriflabs.com. You're welcome.

    If you're using a Mac, you can buy Affinity Designer from the Mac App Store. If you're using Windows, it's still in beta so it isn't available to buy yet.

    Try this: 1. Open a photograph 2. Type SKY 3. Go to the Layers panel 4. Drag the background layer upwards until the photo is clipped to the text
  15. Alfred
    It isn't only missing a label: it also has a blank tooltip.
  16. Alfred
    Thanks again, Miguel. :)

    I wanted to display the Preferences dialog, so I pressed Ctrl+, as I would do in AD on Windows. I was surprised to find that nothing happened, but I then discovered that there is no default shortcut for 'Edit > Preferences...' in this build.
  18. Alfred
    The same problem has been reported against Affinity Designer on Windows. It seems that it only affects those of us who use the default 100% ('Smaller') display setting.
  19. Alfred
    Thanks, Miguel. It seems a little inconsistent that multiple presses of a shortcut key invokes different behaviour if the tool is not in a group, but I'm sure I'll get used to it!
  20. Alfred
    The current beta build is 1.5.0.35 (RC9).
  21. Alfred
    I didn't bother waiting for an email! If you know the URL for the Affinity Designer on Windows beta, it's easy to work out the URL for the Affinity Photo on Windows beta. :ph34r:

    While playing with the Inpainting Brush Tool, I hovered over its icon on the toolbar flyout and saw 'Inpainting Brush Tool [J]'. So the next time I wanted to use the tool, I pressed the 'J' key on my keyboard and was surprised to see an alert about the Healing Brush Tool, telling me that I must use Click+ALT to select a source. On further investigation, it turns out that all of the tools on that flyout have the same default keyboard shortcut, so the first tool is selected when the user presses that key.

    It works for me in the Windows beta version, but only with two or three layers. With five layers in a test document, Shift+Alt-click selects the top object on the first click, the top two objects on the second click, the second object alone on the third click, the second and third objects on the next click, and the top three objects on the click after that. Subsequent clicks toggle between deselecting and reselecting the top object in the stack, with the bottom two objects being completely ignored. If used without the Shift key, Alt-click cycles through the objects as expected.

    I'm not getting a crash in build 32 (RC8) with the eyedropper in the Colour panel.
  25. Alfred
    I've been there, too, so I know exactly what you mean! You're very welcome. I'm glad I was able to help. :)
