Hussard64 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Dear, I'm a beginner in Affinity Publisher since this weekend (;-)) coming from InDesign. When I create new style, everything went well until suddenly a white or tab space was added after the first character of my sentence (see screenshot1). This style was created from a parent one and when i asked the difference, I just see "Character fill" (see screenshot 2) but I don't know what it means. What's the reason ? The Origin ? Can you help please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hussard64 Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Well, I think I finally understood and solved the issue. it was due to the fact that the Drop Caps property was enabled at Paragraph level. If you have any other remarks, you are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 If the Drop Caps formatting was ON I would have expected the Style Settings to say “… + Drop cap: On …”, rather than “… Character fill ...”. If the fix has worked for you then that’s great, but I’m still wondering where the problem came from originally. I can’t seem to find “Character fill” anywhere in the Edit Text Style dialog, Character Panel, Paragraph Panel or the Help, so I’m curious as to how it got there.

Hussard64 Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Dear GarryP, Thxs for your prompt reply, much appreciated. i was also puzzled by the "Character fill" terminology but this is what it is displayed. I'm working with the version 2.3.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Hopefully someone will come along and enlighten us both. Are you able to attach a copy of the document which contains the problem, or have you overwritten it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Drop Caps aren't listed in the style's summary that may indicate that Drop Caps are assigned already to the parent style (-> "Based on: Article Text"). The summary lists only those parameters behind its + symbol that differ from a parent ('based on') style. "Character fill" is simply the summery label for "Text fill" colour.
