Publisher - Content shift on first page when generating from data merge


Recommended Posts

Something curious is happening when I generate pages from data merge. The content on the first page of my document shifts down by approximately 0.22 inches with every generation.

It's only happening on the first page - which doesn't contain any data fields. I've tried the page with and without a master applied. Locking the content makes no difference either.

It's not difficult to sort out, I just realign the content after the final generate, but it makes me slightly nervous about how reliable the entire layout is after running a data merge.

This is one of those situations where all sorts of settings for the text styles would perhaps be causing this. Or it could be something else entirely. Without a pair of files (a CSV and Publisher file) we will be speculating, blindly guessing, as to the cause and possible solutions. Simply knowing that the result is unwanted/unexpected doesn't help with finding the cause.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.2 
Affinity Designer 2.3.1 | Affinity Photo 2.3.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.3.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
