Publisher 2 Autoflow


Recommended Posts

Hi,

As I am new to Affinity Publisher 2, so I'm not sure if this is my sausage fingers or a bug.

I have two Master pages. Both 2-page spreads.

Master Start has a single text frame on the right-hand page

Master Main has a text frame on both pages

My first page has Master Start applied, and the second page has Master Main applied. I place a RTF file into the first page and it appears in the single right-hand frame as expected.

I insert a new page after the first one with Master Main applied.

Clicking on the text frame flow triangle while holding the shift key on the first page, starts the text flowing to the right-hand page text frame, instead of the left as required. Additional pages are automagically created, with the text flowing to the right-hand frame only each time.

I tried 'training' Publisher by manually flowing the text for the first 2-frame page and using autoflow from the last frame. But it just repeated its right-hand frame only trick.

What am I doing wrong please?

TIA

I would link the text flow from the text frame on the first Actual Page spread to the second Actual Page Spread and see what happens.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
