text alignment gone wrong!

[Saskia Winter]

Hi,

Currently working on a document and the text has started to go funny.

When I try to do a bullet point the text is typing so far away from the bullet point no matter what I do / backspace (big gap between bullet point and text)

also when I am typing and get to the end of the textbook the text starts going vertical outside the box, instead of going onto the next line horizontally.

 

Someone please help?!

Hi @Saskia Winter,
welcome to the Affinity forums!

It sounds you are missing control over certain inset options of your text lines, respectively text paragraph. Take a look into the Paragraph Panel > Bullets and Numbering and the Text Frame Panel > Insets, and activate the Text Ruler which additionally shows markers that indicate certain settings.

For more help it would be useful that you upload a screenshot including this panels together with the Layers Panel and with a text frame & the text cursor placed at a relevant text position.
