Hello!

I am trying to use the free trial of publisher on Windows. However, I keep running into a problem. Everything will be going well, and then suddenly I am unable to click on any of my pages. Most recently, I could not click on the page to make a text box, so I had to click outside of the page to do so. Then I could not move the box once it was on the page. I also could not type in the box either. I am also unable to use the keyboard shortcuts to zoom in and out. And when I click on something from the side bar it becomes selected, but the cursor does not change and I cannot do anything with it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

That sounds very strange, and I don't recall seeing any other reports like that.

What OS do you run?

Are you using a mouse or a tablet? If you're using a tablet, what kind? And can you try with a mouse, instead?

Have you tried restarting your system?

Thank you. I will try those solutions and report back. I agree that it is very strange. I’ll start by restarting and then I’ll try a mouse if I have to.

Also I’m 99.5% sure my OS is Windows 11.

How & where specifically are you trying to do this (like in the Pages panel or somewhere else)? Which tool is selected when you try?
