Inamini Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 (edited) Hallo beste mensen, Ik hoop dat ik gewoon in het Nederlands kan schrijven 🙂. Ik wil graag de teksten van alle pagina's in één keer centreren. Is dat mogelijk? Zo ja, hoe doe ik dat? Het gaat om kaarten met quotes, zie hieronder wat voorbeelden. Alvast hartelijk dank voor het meedenken. Ina Edited January 5, 2024 by Inamini its better Quote
walt.farrell Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @Inamini. Writing in Dutch is fine, but some of us may respond in some other language (English, Polish, ...) Please tell us more about your workflow. The answer to your question may be somewhat different if you're using Designer rather than Publisher, for example, or if you're using V1 rather than V2.

Inamini Posted January 5, 2024 Author Posted January 5, 2024 Hallo Walt, super fijn dat je mee wilt denken! Ik werk in Affinity Publisher 2. Antwoorden in andere talen is geen probleem meer tegenwoordig 🙂 De vraag: Hoe kan ik alle quotes tegelijk centreren? Dan hoef ik ze niet pagina voor pagina te wijzigen. Een afbeelding helpt denk ik: zie pdf! forum.pdf Quote
MikeTO Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 If all the text is in a series of linked text frames, you could use Select All and then centre the text. If the text is in separate frames but uses consistent text styles, you could edit the text style and choose Centre which would change all text formatted with that styles. If the text is in separate frames and doesn't use text styles, then there are a few options: Using the Move tool, select all the frames on one page, and choose Centre - that will change all the text in all of the selected frames at once. You will need to repeat this for each page. Use Find and Replace. Click the Gear icon beside Find, select Format, select Paragraph, and set Alignment to Left. Click the gear icon beside Replace, select Format, select Paragraph, and set Alignment to Centre. Click the Find button and it will find all left-aligned text. Click the Replace All button to change all text in the document to centred, or click Replace for each search result you want to change. There are other options such as using the Style Picker tool but I think this will get you started.

Inamini Posted January 5, 2024 Author Posted January 5, 2024 This is amazing and will change my life. Thank you very much Mike! I'm going to practice right away. Quote
Inamini Posted January 5, 2024 Author Posted January 5, 2024 (edited) Helaas is mijn leven nog niet veranderd na een uur proberen 😅 Ik denk dat ik meer hulp nodig heb om dit voor elkaar te krijgen. 1. Ik heb per pagina één tekst. Het lukt mij niet om alle teksten op de pagina te selecteren en te centreren. 2. Als ik werk met artistieke tekst tool dan kan ik de teksten niet koppelen. Ik kan sowieso de teksten niet laten doorlopen denk ik, want het zijn korte zinnen die niet doorgaan. 3. Alle teksten zijn verschillend. Het moeten kaartjes worden met quotes. Ik maak van de pagina's een PDF, dus alle kaartjes zijn PAGINA'S. Die ziet er dan uit ook dat het op 1 pagina is gemaakt maar het zijn dus verkleinde pagina's. Alvast weer mijn dank!

MikeTO Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 For this type of document, I recommend: Create a new document - turn off facing pages if it is on Go to the master page Using the Frame Text tool, draw a text frame on the master page Type a placeholder quotation and format it the way you want it, including centering the text Go to page 1 and replace the placeholder quotation with the actual one for that page Add additional pages and type quotations Into them, too Good luck Inamini 1 Quote Download a free PDF manual for Affinity Publisher 2.6 Download a quick reference chart for Affinity's Special Characters Affinity 2.6 for macOS Sequoia 15.4, MacBook Pro (M4 Pro) and iPad Air (M2)
Inamini Posted January 5, 2024 Author Posted January 5, 2024 (edited) Ha dat werkt! Ik denk wel dat alle zinnen ongeveer even lang en hetzelfde lettertype en grootte moeten zijn. Hartelijk bedankt Mike! Het werkt met alle lettertypes en formaten door elkaar heb ik ontdekt, hier ben ik heel blij mee 😃 Edited January 5, 2024 by Inamini MikeTO 1 Quote
thomaso Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 In addition to Mike's recipe it may be worth to save the created text style in the Text Styles panel before modifying the master page frames on the document pages with custom content. This will make it easier to adjust the style for all frames of the document at any later stage, for instance to toggle between centred and left aligned.

Inamini Posted January 5, 2024 Author Posted January 5, 2024 (edited) Thanks! Can you please explain how I can do that? I am an absolute beginner 🙂 Edited January 5, 2024 by Inamini Quote
thomaso Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 1. Go to your Master Page 2. With the Text Tool select some text that is styled as wanted. 3. Go to the Text Styles Panel. 4. Press the bottom left button "Create Paragraph Style". 5. Go back to the Master Page. 6. Select all text that should have this style. 7. In the Text Styles Panel click the new created style to assign this saved style. If you had already created text on the document pages based on this master text frame: Select their text + assign the new saved style there, too. 56 minutes ago, Inamini said: I am an absolute beginner 🙂 There are various sources especially for beginners.
