Is there a return function?

[Louis Radstaak]

Is there a return function for a page in Publisher? Like the one in Word 14.0.0. (old stuff) in the top menu: a to the 'left pointing arrow' and a to the 'right pointing arrow'.

On Windows, by default, Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown. Probably uses Cmd on Mac. In the Menu it's Document > Previous Page or Document > Next Page.

There are no Toolbar buttons, though.

On my Mac the keys for navigating forward & back through a documents pages are; fn+cmd+up/down arrow keys. Though this may vary depending on how you have setup your keyboard.
On screen, there are forward and back buttons in the bottom left corner of Publisher's window.

If you are wanting on screen Undo & Redo buttons then no, there are none. But you can use the slider in the History panel to move though your edit history.

I can't seem to locate a left or right pointing arrow icon in the Word screenshot. Can someone tell me where they are?

Regardless, if you mean the function @walt.farrell mentioned to change pages, there are these 5 options on the APub Document menu:

I have assigned keyboard shortcuts to four of them, but as shown while the First Page one is set to use the Home key on my Apple Extended keyboard, this does not show up in the menu. The one for Last Page (the End key on my keyboard) & the other two use different symbols than is shown in Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Publisher > Document:

Nevertheless, all work as expected.

In case it is not clear to the OP, the two left buttons are for First & Previous page/spread respectively, & the two right ones are for Next & Last page/spread respectively. The one that looks like a page to the right of the Last page/spread button toggles between Master & Document pages, & the text between the 4 forward & back buttons can be clicked on to allow the user to enter any existing page number, so it is more or less equivalent to the Go to Page item on the Document menu.

Also, I don't know if this is how it is supposed to work, but if I click on the Next page/spread button when I am already on the last page/spread of the document, this opens the Add Pages window.

So there is a lot of functionality in that often overlooked section of the workspace window.

BTW, that section also appears in AP or AD if the Affinity document has more than one page, making it possible to go to any existing page in either of those two apps, even though neither one can create pages. That has to be done in APub.

If I understand the first post,

@walt.farrell and @Louis Radstaak

Are those not for Undo and Redo?

If yes, then there is nothing in the Toolbar in any of the Affinity Applications.

I do not use Word but I think the arrows you circled are for Undo & Redo, so as @markw mentioned, there are no buttons for that in any Affinity app.

EDIT: @Old Bruce beat me to it!

Sorry; long time since I used those functions in an app via the Toolbar.

They certainly look like the buttons used for that in a few other (mostly old) Mac apps. They really are not left & right facing arrows -- they are counterclockwise & clockwise pointing ones suggesting moving backwards & forwards through time, like on a clock.

I have not seen those icons on any of the apps I use except in XnViewMP, & there only in View Mode if I add those icons to the toolbar in that apps Interface > View mode preferences. (I do not think it is there by default but I am not sure about that.)
