Bookwriter2022 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I just got the Publisher software a few days ago. I started my first project yesterday and laid out the first few pages of a book. I saved the document to my desktop. Today, I clicked on the icon on the desktop to open it and continue, but I get the message, "There is no application set to open the document (document name)". If I created this document using the downloaded software from Affinity, how is there no way to open it now? Next problem: I signed into Affinity Publisher in hopes I'd find the interface and the document there to open and continue working. However, when I signed in, all I get is the main page extolling all its features and it has the button to "BUY NOW". I see no way or place to access the interface where I can continue working. How do I get back to the interface? I have looked and looked and can find nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paquettegi Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Where is your Affinity Publisher software downloaded? Open the software and when it opens go to file open recent. Then save it to a file folder on your desktop so it will be easy to find in the future. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookwriter2022 Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 It was downloaded, as far as I know, onto my desktop. There was an Affinity Icon in the middle of my desktop last night when I shut down for the day, but today it was not there. There is no Affinity software icon for me to click on. When I go to the Affinity website and sign in, shouldn't it take me to the interface? That seems logical to me, but it's not happening. I'm lost.

Bookwriter2022 Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 OK, I think I have it figured out now. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paquettegi Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I would suggest you do a search for the Affinity App. I'm not sure if you're using Windows or a Mac... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the website has nothing to do with launching (running) the app. The app has to be downloaded & installed. How that is done depends on the Store you bought it from, something you never mentioned.
