No Option of Placing Text


Recommended Posts

I use the Affinity Publisher Version 2.1.1

But I faced some problems with placing long text.
1. I don't have the "place" text option on my toolbar. It directly choose image file for place.
2. On some youtube tutorials, basically Affinity Publisher can place text from Microsoft Word. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear on my Affinity Publisher.
3. I tried to use text file with text extension, and it worked. But then I faced another problem: when I click the "triangle" icon on the side of the frame text, the text wouldn't flow as it should be.

I've been struggling to resolve this problem for a half day. Is there someone who could suggest any solution for me. I'm a beginner in Affinity.

Your answer will help me a lot.

Thank you.

To place text you must have a text layer (text frame) selected.

Or copy the text in the other program and paste in publisher will autocreate a textframe.
Or drag and drop the textfile from explorer into an open document will do the same.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I did. I had the text frame, but the "place" has no "text" option.

If you click on Place... a file browser window will open. Than you can choose your textfile!
