Table Row Error.afpub

[Table. Last row growth.]

Sean:

I cannot provide the exact pdf file, this file is fluid, I change it regularly and don't keep all old versions.
Attached is one file that  is a version very close to the one I was copying.

The pdf was constructed in PagePlus X9 and published as a pdf. To test Affinity Publisher, I opened the pdf in Publisher to see what I would get; unfortunately Publisher did not bring in a table, just text boxes and individual line segments. So I started a new table in this same file, and with the imported pdf and the new table all in the same document in Publisher, I started copying the texts from the imported page to the new table.

[Table. Last row growth.]

Sean:

I started a new document, and recreated the table using the newer release of the Publisher (1.7.0.133), and this table behaved well.

Attached is the original file, and I cannot tame row 7 of this table. This was copied and pasted from a pdf file, and that may be the source of the problem.

Thanks

[Objects to "No Print"]

Let me speak about "back in the day"... This can be traced back decades in the desktop publishing realm.

The desktop publishing app may perhaps present the vastest array of uses, and users, of any other software; and so , should offer the most versatility.
I mostly use my desktop publisher for printing labels and envelopes or composing downloadable pdfs for a website I run for a local club.
I may never use some of the more sophisticated features aimed at the professional, but appreciate the ease of use and availability of many features.
I am accustomed to creating orientation and other printing guides while figuring out how to create and print an envelope size my printer doesn't have built into it's driver.

The question is; should the user find a way to work around the software, or should the software work for the user?
The no-print is really helpful.

[Table. Last row growth.]

I have a table, and I cannot control the height of the last row. It grows each time I edit it. The boundry on the table even exceeds the table fill.

[Table Autofit Row to Contents fails]

I paste text into a table cell, highlight the table row, right click and choose "Autofit Row to Contents". The bottom of the cell boarder covers the text (see attached).
I have tried working with Character and Paragraph settings to fix this, but I have only fixed the top (setting Space Before to 6 pt, and Use Space Before: Always).

[Overflow text alert]

MEB, you may be correct. I had one text box that was tight to the text, I expanded it, and no more messages.
But with the bounding box closely cropped to the text, the "eye" symbol that indicates the text is overflowing is under the stretch handle, and is not clearly visible.
Screen shot attached.

[Publisher: Automate Calendar (sorta) - Paragraph Numbering]

Eugene has done a fine job, but shouldn't Publisher have a built in function for inserting rudimentary calendars, like Page Plus does??

[Print preview not updating]

In the print dialog while specifying the N-up layout, when I indicate a value for skip, the preview does not show the skip unless I close the dialog and re-open it.

[Dimension lines obscured.]

I love the little dimension lines that pop up when you move a feature to show you how close/far the feature is from the edge of your document. This is a very small problem, but in close quarters, the handle you use to rotate the feature you are moving can obscure the dimension line.

[Overflow text alert]

I get the text overflow message when I print certain documents, and I've checked the text and cannot find any overflow.

[Graphical interface for print layout]

I understand that the print layout is in the Print dialog because it relates to printing, and that the Layout could be different each time, but I also find it clumsy. I would like to create Layouts that I could save and use over, or use to make another Layout by just changing a few parameters. I would also like to see a more graphic interface. The print preview in this dialog is ridiculously small, and almost useless. The old Page Plus did this much better.

Although I specify a Paper Size: “Letter”, the Width and Height shown in this dialog are GIGANTIC!. (see the attached)

Since I already created a left margin on the page, I shouldn’t have to do it here on the Print dialog, but I must to make it work.

[[Bug] N-up prints measures from printable margin instead of paper edge]

I find a similar problem. HP LaserJet Pro MFP M225-M226 PCL 6. Letter size (ANSI A) paper. Printing labels.

The margins are off about 0.187 inch both down and left. The top of the first label is 0.6875 inch from the top of the page instead of 0.500, and the left edge of the first label is 2.625 inches from the edge of the page instead of 2.437 inches.

[Objects to "No Print"]

I see now that unchecking visibility in the Layers panel accomplishes the no-print.

Reading the Help helps.

[Objects to "No Print"]

I don't see how to create a feature (object/layer) that is visible, but won't print.
