i removed in this way - thanks MikeTO but, every day, super-high-compatibility becomes more and more and more frustrating...

Hi, i just opened file from publisher in designer, and it opens all pages. A can move between wit arrows but how to delete them!??!!?

Yes, this is how I think about it too. And I'm pretty sure that this is a bigger TODO. But, as I said, in my opinion: this is a key to open door to many data/intensive designs... And I'm, really really, waiting for this, because Affinity apps are so so light compare to adobe stuff... I love it, but I can't use it :)))

From my experience tables are much more used in publications than spirals. Tables, flowing tables are basic for huge amount of any data intense publications, which means: a lot(!) of reports, any larger catalogue and big listings, any serious large publication probably will have at least few flowing tables. From that (data/tables) perspective: Publisher is nothing more than Designer - advanced software for building one page designs. This (huge) part of design market simply CAN'T use Affinity. Spirals, on the other side, yes! I have used them: in 2003, for BRAVO magazine design...

This is the last, and only thing, which stopped me (and many people around me) with full move into Affinity and Publisher. This is so basic(!) option. Flowing tables with repeatable headers and footers on every page. Every DTP software had this since born... Indesign with tables is a base for all works around. I simply don't use Photos and Designer because at the end, I have to place their files into Indesign. No, saving tiff from Photos or PDF from Designer, keeping native files on side... No, this is not the way in 2024.

@LizeJ -> this is exactly my case too! I simply CAN'T jump into Affinity just because lack of flowing tables, I have 200 pages catalog with a lot of styles, drawings, photos and tables - everything is opening perfectly (idml) except flowing tables... Sad, but a someone wrote above "spirals ar much more important"...

One more for data merge, and... maybe some basic arythmetic functions in tables??!
