juliang Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I've had a problem with the zoom facility in Publisher. I open a new A4 print document. I use the command control 8 to make the page go to it actual size. The image on the screen changes to appear about 2 centimetres by 1 1/2 cm approx. The zoom pointer is in the middle of the bar saying 100-percent. This is too small to edit so I have to magnify it by approximately 800%. All of this seems very odd. What is going on?

Staff Lee D Posted December 5, 2019 Staff Share Posted December 5, 2019 Starting an A4 document and then using Command/Control 8 should display at print size. Try resetting the app, hold down the CTRL key and open. When the window appears, release the key and click Clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulEC Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 While on the subject of zooming - What is the difference between "Actual size" (Ctrl+8) and "100%" (Ctrl+1) ?

GarryP Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 PaulEC: “100% Zoom” should be where document pixels map directly to screen pixels and “Actual Size” should show you the document on-screen at the size it will be when printed (try putting an A4 sheet of paper up against what is on screen when editing an A4 document, if your screen is large enough).

omachi Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 This function has the menu name "Print Size" on Mac and the menu name "Actual Size" on Windows. Is this actually the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 11, 2019 Staff Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hi omachi, Yes, it's the same. Thanks for pointing this out. I'm logging it to be looked at. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Patrick Connor Posted January 21, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 21, 2020 We have made improvements to this area (Menu View> Zoom> Actual Size labelled as Print Size in Publisher [mac]) of the program in the latest customer beta. If you would like to try these changes the beta software is available in the forum posts listed below. The latest beta builds are downloadable from links at the top of each of these beta forum posts. Affinity Publisher 1.8.0.535 for Mac These betas install parallel, next to the release version (they do not overwrite your release) and so the fixes can be tried in the beta without affecting your normal workflow in the release version. Once these programs have been through a full beta process the change will be released in a future free 1.8.0 update/patch to all customers.
