AntiqueFlaneur Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 In the attached pic, I've got text wrapped around a photo. But the text seems to start slightly below the top of the picture it is wrapped around. Any way to raise it up so it's even? Note that the top of the text box is already even with the photo.

So, are you saying that the text "Chapter Three" and the paragraph break following it are a separate text frame from the text beginning "maintenance and restoration"? Could we see a screenshot with that text frame selected, rather than the image? And perhaps with the Text Frame studio panel showing? Could you save a copy of your .afpub file with only the master page(s) and spread 52/53, and upload it?

Old Bruce Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 You'll have to manually crop the image's top. You will also have to decide whether you want the top to be at the top of the first letter "m" or to line up with the ascenders later on in the text's first line, there is a 'd' and an 'f' there at the end. There is no automatic way to do this. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I'm attaching a pic with the textbox selected and the Text Frame Studio panel showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, do a File > Save As... and save the complete file under a different name, so you don't lose your original. After that it should simply be a matter of selecting the spread(s) you want to delete in the Pages studio panel and clicking the Delete Selected Pages icon (trash can) at the top right of the panel. Finally, do another File > Save As... and save the file under another new name, which should compact it and remove the space otherwise taken up by the deleted spreads.

thomaso Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Might it be you have a baseline grid active which forces the body text to start where it starts (and this way below the upper edge of the placed image)?

AntiqueFlaneur Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 I figured it out, guys! Thanks for your help. It was actually the vertical alignment in the text studio being set to center align instead of top align. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured out my problem, but it could be very useful to know how to do this in the future. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
