Rainieria Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 When I flow text from one frame to the next, the font size decreases enormously (a factor of about ten). How do I fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 A frequent cause of that issue is that one of the text frames has been rescaled, rather than resized. If you change the size of a text frame using the lower-right, detached, handle it will change the size of the frame and rescale its contents. So, when resizing, make sure you use a corner node that is attached to the frame border. That is, don't use this one: Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Rainieria Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Thanks for the tips. I'm afraid those solutions and suggestion don't work. Whatever combination of techniques I use I still get one text frame with bigger or smaller fonts than the other. There's been no resizing, the document is an IDML import which I saved as an afpub. Clearly something is wrong with that import file which a friend did using his InDesign 5. (I can't do it again mayself as I have no Adobe products, there is no means of reinstalling my old CS3 - that's why I bought Affinity Publisher) I think my only recourse is to start again with a fresh clean AF Pub file and copy unformatted text into it. Makes IDML imports only marginally better for me than copying and pasting from pdfs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an acknowledged bug where this can happen with IDML imports, so that's probably what you've hit.
