MikeTO Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 New version! I have uploaded a new version of this unofficial Publisher manual to the first post of this thread. In addition to being updated for the changes in Publisher 2.3, this version covers character and paragraph formatting, text styles, and all the other text-related features. It is 120 pages longer than the original version. Although it's written for Publisher, most of the text features are the same for Designer or Photo so you may find it useful for the other Affinity applications, too.

mopperle Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Many thanks for this great manual. I can imagine how much time you have spent on making such a professional work. And I hope that Serif somehow compensates you for this outstanding contribution to the community.

yKnot Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Wow-O-Wow! This is a superb reference resource. Thank you, MikeTo for your "fun" endeavors. Cheers! 👏👏👏 MikeTO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aongus Collins Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 MikeTO, Thank you so much for the work you put into this manual. It reminds me of the early Adobe printed manuals at their very best in terms of style -- written and visual. I've used Publisher for cards (birthday, seasonal etc) that were printed digitally, with great success. Now I'm considering something more ambitious: a book printed using litho from a Publisher PDF.

Goldeneast Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I know, but in document settings you can select if for printing or web or Foto or different devices. I simply want to produce a PDF from that to convert. But which setting is the best to use it afterwards on tablets and smartphones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good question, I think you should pose it in the thread below, so this thread focuses on Mike's document. It's going to be either a long history of workarounds and tips or excusplaining. Or if you're lucky, nuggets of useful tips. But it's unlikely to be covered in just 1-2 posts. 🙂 If you also spice up your post with a good title, the answers can be searched and used by others. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/5-affinity-on-desktop-questions-macos-and-windows/ Quote Experienced Quality Assurance Manager - I strive for excellence in complex professional illustrations through efficient workflows in modern applications, supporting me in achieving my and my colleagues' goals through the most achievable usability and contemporary, easy-to-use user interfaces.

MikeTO Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 There isn't a straightforward way to prepare an Affinity document to create an eBook. Perhaps someday I'll add a section of tips for this topic but for now it's best to look elsewhere in these forums for that guidance.

MikeTO Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 New version available for Publisher 2.4: I have uploaded a new version of my unofficial Publisher manual to the first post of this thread. This version has a chapter on images and picture frames as well as additional pages on exporting to PDF for digital publishers, the Tags panel, more OpenType features, and a few other features. Now 300 pages. Most of the features are the same for Designer or Photo so you may find it useful for Designer and Photo, too.
