podge Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 Newbie question: My InDesign CS5 has “corner effects” for a text box. Does Publisher have something like this? Thanks Quote Mac Mini - M2
Palatino Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 Yes, indirectly. First draw a rectangle with corner effects and convert it into a text frame. Quote Thanks to DeepL.
GarryP Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 Just to add to what has already been said, there’s no quick way to give an existing text frame corners. However, you can, if you also have Designer (doesn’t work in Publisher): * cut all of the text out of the frame; * convert the frame to curves (menu “Layer → Convert To Curves”); * use the Corner Tool as necessary (no Corner Tool in Publisher); * convert the shape back to a text frame (menu “Layer → Convert To Text Frame”); * paste the text back into the frame. It’s a bit long-winded but better than having to do everything again. Quote

GarryP Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 Nice. I’ve made a GIF that might make it clearer (unless I’ve done it differently). Move Along People 1 Quote

GarryP Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 Nice little trick that. I wonder if I will remember it when I actually come to need it? Only time will tell. Move Along People 1 Quote

Unfortunately, it only lets you mark (follow) topics, not posts, as far as I can tell. But you can use your browser to Bookmark posts, and either tag them or put them in folders (depending on your browser, and your choice) to help find them later. In Firefox, right-click on the "Share this post" icon, and choose "Bookmark This Link".

It should be a feature of the forum, when it remembers the user's entire history and its rating of posts. It might be enough to add another type of rating (star symbol) and then allow them to be searched/filtered.

But unless it is already a feature of the forum software which Serif has not enabled, it is out of their control. They are merely using commercially available software to run this forum. And since I may have things I want to save about Affinity that come from the forums, or videos from YouTube, or posts on Facebook, keeping them organized in my browser bookmarks makes more sense, to me, than having a separate set in the forums, and a different set in my browser.

Sure, everybody can solve it as they can and according to their needs - for example, have it transcribed on paper :-) Just a note of your links - just a small reconstruction of the forum structure (such as moving to Older Feedback ...), and your saved links are completely useless. And the advantage of rating/saving interesting forum posts? - could be a valuable source of information for other users.

I do not think that is quite correct. This forum software assigns unique topic and post numbers. A topic can be moved to a different location in the forum, but as long as the topic is not renamed or split, the links to its posts will continue to work. Of course, if the topic is renamed the links will break, and the original poster of the topic, or a moderator, could do that. And moderators may split them. So you're right that the links could break. But simply moving the topic should not do it.
