Thanks guys for taking the time to reply to my question. It's not the filesize that concerns me -- when I print a draft copy in greyscale it makes it harder for my proofreader to read some of the text, besides using excess toner!

How can I print a Publisher PDF to my local laser printer as text-only for proofreading, i.e., without printing images/graphics?

I was trying to change the font size of imported text across 2 spreads, 4 pages, 2 cols per page, but the size differed per spread. No matter which way I highlighted the text, I could change font size on 1 spread but would not replicate the change on the following spread.

Publisher 1.8 freezes (has done it about 5 times, same scenario) when working with text frames. With the text frame toolbox open, when I've made a change, AP freezes when I try to close the toolbox.

Thanks for your helps guys. I'm working on a 32 page magazine right now in PagePlus X9, exported it as a PDF, imported it into AP to try to get to grips with AP. I assume the Pages Studio is next to Assets at the top left. I'm using a 30" display and do all my work in PP on a 2-page facing pages spread. I can't find anywhere in AP that points to Facing Pages. How do I add Facing Pages spread to AP with an imported PDF? I can't see me ever switching to AP over PP at this rate. Hold on... I'v just found it in Document Setup. Progress at last. Thanks for your help.

How can I view/edit a 2-page spread? i.e., facing pages.

When I tried to update to the latest beta of AP (1.7.0.162), I got this error message: 'Exception: CreateDirectory failed'. I uninstalled the previous beta and tried installing the latest -- got the same error. Tried removing all entries for Affinity in the Win 10 Pro registry -- same error. Can anyone help? I suspect it's not an AP error, rather Windows 10.

I agree with the request to import native PPP files. Yes, the PDF import works, but PPP import would be preferable, at least for the short-term changeover from PP to AP.

I got it about flowing text into a new frame. But coming from PPX9, it was much easier to flow text to another frame. I want to be able to flow text into existing frames that may not be the same size as the original.
