48 columns is the maximum? Why is there a limit?


Recommended Posts

There are always upper limits to numbers when working with digital computers. But I agree, 48 does seem utterly arbitrary, even though the most I have ever actually used is under a dozen.

For a laugh I just made a 25 foot by 3 foot text frame, with the 48 columns at 6 inches wide, and filled it with 11 on 12 point filler text. Just shy of 90 thousand words. Amazing how well the new beta worked compared to the retail in terms of working with it.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.2 
Affinity Designer 2.3.1 | Affinity Photo 2.3.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.3.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

If you need more you could just create a second text frame on the spread and link them. I think 48 is a high limit for this feature but InDesign offers 40 so Serif likely couldn't go lower due to IDML import.
