I started creating a document in Publisher. I set specific margins & guides on the master page. These worked well, but suddenly they disappeared... They are still present in the master page. I have made sure that 'preview mode' is not turned on.

Attached are some screenshots showing the issue. First screenshot shows the master page with guides and margins. Second screenshot shows the pages in the document, pages 1 and 2 with no guides or margins, page 3 with margins and guides as was the case for all 3 pages when I created the document.

Please let me know why this is happening and how I can get it working correctly. I have just purchased the full Affinity suite so would like it to be working correctly.

It appears that you may have created page 2 without using the Master Page. If you hover over it in the Pages panel, is a Master Page name displayed? Or, if you select that page and look in the Layers panel, do you have a Layer named Master A?

Thanks for your reply Walt. I actually just created page 2 just to see what happened... In response to your question, only page 3 has a layer named Master A.

Thanks to your help I managed to fix the issue myself: I realised that there was no 'Master' page layer present in pages 1 or 2 - so I dragged the Master layer over the top of each page and the margins/guides are now showing up!

Thanks again, much appreciated!
