Brilliant, thanks!

Marvellous, worked perfectly, thank you!

A bit of a newbie issue here. I've drawn a curve shape using the pen tool, then drawn another curve inside that visually separates the original shape. I want to fill each area of the shape with a different colour, but I can't see how. I've tried different combinations of merging curves, doing nodes etc, but can't quite figure it out. The fill tool always fills the entire shape, with missing areas. I thought this might be because the shapes aren't joined properly, but when I try to join them, new lines are created. Any ideas where I'm going wrong? Attached images show the original shape, the result when I try to fill a section, and the result when I try to close curves. Join curves also creates a new line.

Aha, I see, thanks!

Thanks guys! This has confused me a bit (not difficult!). In what situation would someone need this? In this case, the white border is purely cosmetic.

I've created some artwork for a friend in Designer, and they've asked for it to have a white border. It's an A4 document, and they want a 1cm border. What's the best way to deal with this? Is it to simply draw a rectangle the size of the document and add a white stroke to the preferred width, or is there a better way? Thanks!

+1 I've been designing a 'template' for my Dad and his local magazine, it would nice if it could be saved as such, so he can't mess with it by mistake.

Thanks for all the info guys, confirmed my approach, cheers!

From what I can see, there isn't currently an inbuilt way to build a book cover in publisher? I've completed all of the content of my book, but now need to work out how create the cover in a way that could be adjusted if required. Is the easiest approach to duplicate a master, then change the dimensions to allow for the spine in the centre, adjusting the margins location and design from there?

Okay, so I've managed to find a solution of sorts. I re-applied the Master A to the page, which removed the text frame. I've added another frame, which appears as it should, above the master. I've no idea how the other text frame ended up within the template layers.

Apologies if I'm being dumb, but checking back on the Master A page, the text frame isn't there, empty or otherwise?

Hi Old Bruce, thanks for the reply. The layer doesn't seem to be locked, and the text frame was working fine until a while ago, I'm not working on a master page, I've attached an image of my layers panel, the only differnce I can see is that there isn't a red line on the left of the layer.

I've added a text frame to a page, and made some edits, such as adding a coloured border. Since then I haven't been able to select, move, edit, or delete the text frame. I can edit the content, but not the frame itself. The frame has very small 'x' icons instead of handles. I've tried several key combinations, and checked to see if anything is locked, and it appears not.

Thanks @GabrielM and @carl123, the Document > Clip Canvas suggestion works perfectly!

I have an iPhone app which I use to create iPhone mockups. When exporting the generated png images, it includes a relatively large transparent area around the main image. When using Sketch, I can drag in the images and then re-export them without any editing, the transparent area surrounding the original image is automatically removed. Is there a way to easily remove this transparent area in AD or AP?
