Publisher: heading spread over x columns

[uli123]

Hi,

is there a way to define a heading with "spread over x columns" or "spread over all columns"? Or do I have to work with two frames in a group?

Thanks a lot,

Uli

This is currently not possible, but a much wanted feature. I know only of a nasty hack (with 2 columns), that comes with other problems: Make the heading left aligned and mark the complete heading as "No break".

Thank you.

That's pity 😥. Many years I'd worked with Ventura. Just for inspiration there were (with all combinations!):
- spread over x columns
- spread over all columns
- linebreak before
- linebreak after
- column break before
- column break after
- page break before
- page break before until left page
- page break before until right page
- page break after until left page
- page break after until right page

Also a Ventura Publisher fan here.  In Affinity Publisher, the easiest way to get what you want is to draw an extra text frame across the affected columns, just tall enough to include your text, and set Text Wrap to either Square or Jump, depending on what effect you want on columns further left and right.  You will have to position the extra text frame, and continue to adjust it if the preceding text changes in length.
