Yes, that's how to at the moment.

Actually it's even easier. One doesn't need to delete master page, one can just delete the 'text box' with the page number on any page you wish.

Thanks both, but please note I am not talking about text copied directly from InDesign (which works fine) but InDesign text copied via Markzware (which I have been experimenting with as part of my readiness for when my InDesign CS6 will no longer work with Apple's next OS). Markzware is a program(me) that opens InDesign docs even when you do not have the InDesign app.

Correction to previous posting: it come out wrong in Pages but CORRECT in Quark.

Another test. This time the copying from Markzware ID Util has come out 16pt, wide leading, grey background (see screen shot). The original is 12pt, standard leading (14.4), no grey background. When copying to other apps such as Quark and Pages the copying comes out correctly the same as the original. Kindly advise re this inconvenience. Thank you.

Yes it does, and, as I said, it does too in the panel for Quark and InDesign.

Too many fonts to check everyone but of the many I have checked only Sonata is not showing in the panel. Here is screenshot:

Since the glyphs show in the panel in Q and ID, surely it must be a bug that they don't show in P, regardless of the version I have . . . ?

Oh. It's Adobe Postscript Type1. The glyphs show in the glyph panel in Quark and in InDesign, but not in Publisher. Do you know what I should do? Thanks.

Music Sonata font is present but none of its glyphs show up in the glyphs panel, which makes choosing difficult.

Ah, thank you so much, Dominik. Yes. Done.

Ability to set a default typeface, i.e. other than Arial, which would be very useful for those of us who have a preferred typeface we most often use.

When copying InDesign story text from Markzware ID Util app and pasting in Publisher, the text comes out with a grey background and the font size changes to a larger size not in the InDesign doc (where it is 9pt, which of course I would not expect) nor as specified in the Publisher doc (in my test case the Publisher doc font size is 12pt, the paste came out at 13pt). When doing the same test from ID Util to Quark, the text pasted without any grey background and in the same size font as specified in the Quark doc (i.e. 12 pt).

Thank you, Patrick. I think I understand now !

Yes indeed, InDesign CS6, which I have, is 32 bit. It will not work with Apple's next OS. Therefore surely IDMLs created now will not open in any way with the next Apple OS. If I am right, then if one goes over to Apple's next OS, IDMLs will not open in Affinity, simply because they cannot be opened . . .

Thank you Adrian. Are you saying that IDMLs will still open even if one has upgraded to the next OS?

It might not be the boon one is expecting because if one upgrades to the next Apple OS release one will not be able to open any kind of InDesign document anyway, unless, possible of course, there is some software (already released or to be released) that will open InDesign after the fateful day/upgrade . . . ?

A year ago I went over to Quark to escape InDesign. But I believe Quark has begun to lose focus. First of all, their reduced features version for Apple is called Quark Pro. Big mistake, because it sounds as if it is better, which it isn't. They could have called it, e.g., something like Quark Edit, if, as they say, it had to be different. (I am assuming that Publisher bought from Apple is the same as when bought from Affinity, as I have . . . ?) Secondly, Quark's new so-called Advantage annual payment for each new release is very expensive, so Quark has now lost me for future releases. Congratulations to Affinity for Publisher, which at its price is a no-brainer. Sure, everything is not yet perfect, but it is very very good. So, my message to the powers that be at Affinity: stay focused, continue well and fine, don't fall into any Quarkish or InDesignish traps. Thank you, Anthony

It does show it but under Zapf. If you go to your font manager and click on info for that you will see it is ITC.

Should be easy. Not everybody knows (it took me years to find out) if you hold down say the letter e, all the accented options come up. Click on the one you want and you get that.

It's very easy. In the pages thumbnail panel, hover over the page from which you want to remove the number (presumably done on a master page) and click control. Then you will see some options including delete master from that page.

Oh yes, thank you, Garry, I see now !

Yes, exactly, but how ?! – thanks

Ah, actually, not quite so wonderful: if I want, e.g., to backward slant just a phrase within an otherwise normal text, it would be good to be able to select just that phrase and backward slant it. One can do that in InDesign (ugh now) but not in Quark. It would be excellent if it were possible in Publisher.

Wonderful, thank you Garry – Anthony
