Copying guide numbers from on master page to another

[Jim Monson]

Can I copy guides from on master page to another in Affinity Publisher? It appears that I cannot select more than one guide setting (number) in Guide Manager to copy/paste my guides from one master page to another. It would be great if one could select the all to copy/paste or use the CMD key (Mac) to select from the guide numbers.

No, you cannot copy guides from one master page to another, other than doing it manually by typing the values in.

However, you can apply multiple master pages to a page so you can add certain guides to certain master pages and then apply the master pages as you need them to create different layouts.

By doing this you can create different layouts using the same 'set of guides' and keep the number of guides on each page down to a minimum instead of having all of the guides you might want on a single master page and it getting cluttered.

You can also apply a Master Page to another Master Page, which should apply its Guides as well, which might help in some scenarios.

You can also duplicate a Master Page which will also duplicate the guides on the new master

If you have a complicated Guides setup on a Master page it may be easier to do it this way, then copy any elements from the old master to the newly created one
