Fredjen Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hi! This is happening in old files as well as newly generated ones. The large white space before the break into the next column should not exist. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Cheers, Frederik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Welcome to the Affinity forums @Fredjen! Where is this text coming from? A placed docx? Maybe there is something wrong with the text style or the hyphenation or a column break is inserted. Hard to tell looking at the screenshot. Could you upload the Affinity Publisher document here or a small part of it?

walt.farrell Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Having that part of the .afpub file would help. It might also help to have Text > Show Special Characters enabled.

Fredjen Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Thank you for the replies so far. I did not safe the file in that state, but I can offer an older one that had been working as intended before, but now does the same thing for me on page 8 for example. Hausregeln 2020-01-12.afpub [taken down as problem has been solved] EDIT: Forgot to answer that. How the attached file came to be exactly, I don't remember, but it behaves very similarily to the one I took the screenshot of. The text originated from a placed rtf-file. I also tried just copy-pasting the text from the file (opened in libre office). Edited January 11, 2021 by Fredjen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 1 hour ago, Fredjen said: The text originated from a placed rtf-file. You mention LibreOffice, is the text from there originally I just copied and pasted the text from your Publisher file into the Mac's Text Edit application. It pasted fine and was rich text I then copied from there and Pasted it into the same frames in the Publisher Document after deleting the text. Looked fine to me. I am thinking this has something to do with the rtf and where it came from. Placing the Text Edit document (.rtf format) worked fine as well.

walt.farrell Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 It's related to the paragraph flow options "Prevent widowed last lines" and "Keep with next ... Lines" (currently set to 2). If you put the text cursor on the last line on page 8 left column, and turn off "Prevent widowed last lines" in the Paragraph panel and set "Keep with next" to 0 it flows as I think you expected it to.

Fredjen Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 Thank you all for taking the time. It was as Walt wrote, the problem was the "Keep with next" setting. Thank you so much, I was going crazy 😵 walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
