How do I make a table flow with surrounding text?


Recommended Posts

Affinity's Table feature really is messed up.

I have created a table that I want to move with the paragraph just above it. I.e., when the paragraph moves lower down the page because new text was added before it, I want the table to move with it.

I've tried using the text flow feature, I've tried pasting the table inside of a frame, I've tried inserting an anchor for it, but nothing seems to work.

Is this that hard and the function that obscure?

Anybody know how to do this?

It took some playing around, but you've pointed me in the right direction. It seems to be working.

Thank you.

I'm frustrated with Affinity's support and help system. When I invoke the Affinity Publisher help app and search for "pin" or "pinning" nothing shows up. When I search for "pin an object" or "pin a table" in the support forums, nothing shows up.

Well, the help search is not very verbose with every keyword but it seems to work for "pinning". Also a forums search shows a bunch of results for "pinning a table" (I did not check the relevance). However, at least an internet search should lead you to useful results.
