Simple example: Right now, I can copy that from the development environment, and paste to Word. I can do there as I like, changing font, size, and indentation. Then copy to clipboard and paste to Publisher. But if I paste the original to Publisher, rather than to Word, I get plain text. If I paste to Notepad, or to Notepad++, I see plain text, so I assume the issue is that the clipboard data is converted within the limits of the target application. As alternatives to the normal clipboard format, I am able to get either RTF or HTML. What I would like is to be able to create a style which alters the font name, the size, and the indent level of all lines, but leave unaltered the colors, weights, and whatnot.

I am working on a technical volume in which I need to insert formatted code to illustrate various programming issues. Some editing tools offer syntax highlighters; others permit me to insert formatted code. In Affinity Publisher, the best solution I have found is to copy the formatted code from my development tool, paste into MS Word, adjust the font as I wish, then paste into Publisher. Although this works, it is certainly tedious, and as I work through revisions, it will become unacceptable. Is there a way to define a paragraph style which will not alter character color and weight?

I can't take credit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment

I would second that. The observed behavior was certainly not what I would have expected. The Principle of Least Astonishment has been violated.

Thank you! I need to borrow your hat....

I have created a new project with a few master pages, each of them as facing pages. All appears to be well until I output to PDF, and at that point, Publisher puts the first page on a portrait page, as expected, but places subsequent page pairs on paper in landscape, two pages per sheet. I have reviewed the tutorial for Master pages, the help on the subject, and have looked high and low in settings for anything which might affect this. Is this a known issue, of have I missed something?

Got it, finally, after about a dozen attempts. Literally.

The .337 download appears to stall on my attempts. Anywhere from 30-60MB, and then no activity.
