Gamtak Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Why can't I drag and drop text in a textbox related to a "Master page" ? I tried and tried, and find out, Its only possible when not related to a Master page. Do I something wrong, or is it really a problem from Affinity Publisher thanks for help, gamtak Quote
Old Bruce Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Interesting problem, I just tried this with a .txt file and it worked but didn't work. I started with a one page document and it is a facing page document. When I dragged my text file into the text frame on page one (the text frame is from the Master Page) the text started on page zero and flowed into page one. Perhaps you have a smaller amount of text and so you don't see the page zero with the text. Regardless this is a bug.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Gamtak Posted December 12, 2019 Author Posted December 12, 2019 Hi thanx for your reply, this is my problem, for bookdesign I work with large amounts of text and in many cases something need to be changed in the text itself. So when I for instance select one of more words in a full textbox : dragging and dropping the selection to an other position in the text isnt' possible if the textbox is related to a masterpage. hope you now a solution and thanks for help Gamtak Quote
walt.farrell Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 Thanks for clarifying that, Gamtak. I've only tested that in the 1.8.0.518 beta on Windows, but your scenario does not work there for me, either. Dragging text from one spot to another inside a Text Frame fails if the frame is derived from a Master Page.

Especially so, since the History Panel records the text moving even when it does not. walt.farrell 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
