JeremyHullah Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 The documentation shows plenty of examples where text paths have been made invisible, but I can't see how to do this. I have set the 'Stroke' to 'none' (as far as I can tell), but there seem to be a number of places to set this and it is hard for me (as a beginner) to know if I have selected the correct setting section for this. Is there any document that I have missed that clearly shows how to set this characteristic for a path? Quote
Hangman Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 Hi @JeremyHullah and welcome to the forums... Once you create your path, set the stroke to none prior to adding your text and that should then work as expected... I'm unsure whether or not this is actually a bug because in Affinity Designer as soon as you add text to a path the stoke is set to None and is therefore hidden but that's not the case in Publisher where the stroke remains visible. The same behaviour appears in V1 and V2 so it may be by design but the difference in behaviour between the two apps seems strange.

It is not a bug. Publisher intentionally works differently from Designer and Photo, because only Publisher has the Text Frame panel. And the Text Frame panel is where you would control the visibility of the Stroke.

JeremyHullah Posted April 8, 2023 Author Posted April 8, 2023 Thanks Hangman - Once I realised that the curve had not then just disappeared completely and was in my layers panel, it all started to make a bit more sense... Quote
