Godsgirl Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Hello everyone. I am the one who had text flowing to and from a footer. I finally was able to unlink this text box from the rest, so hopefully everything will work correctly from this point forward. Ty to all who offered help. Now, I have another problem I can't seem to fix. I have too much space before and after my Heading 2. It has an underline and I'm not sure if that is affecting anything or not. I am using a baseline grid so my columns line up. Don't know if this is the problem or not. I have tried to read through as many forum entries dealing with this topic as I could, but nothing I do seems to work. When I change the space after from 3 to 2 under the "Edit Heading 2" under Text Styles, the spacing after the heading goes from too much to too little. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Turn it off for the "Navigation" heading Paragraph Style. I use Exact leading for all my Paragraph Styles and do not use the Baseline grid. You may want to use the Baseline grid for the Paragraph Style which is used for the bulk/body/normal/whatever-it-is-called of the text. This will assist in lining up the text at the bottom of pages which is something a great many people worry about. An inordinate amount of worry in my opinion. walt.farrell and Callum 2 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

Thank you so much!!! I have worried for days over this thing. You are truly a lifesaver!! Oh. One more question: How do I make this change global for my Heading 2? Where exactly do I go within the Edit to do this? Thx again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 In the Paragraph Style itself. In the Text Styles panel double click on the name of the Paragraph Style, or click on the little three line "hamburger menu".

Godsgirl Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 (edited) Thx so much! Ok, another question. In the example below, what is the double downward arrow and how do I get rid of it? I want this text frame to flow to the next text frame. When I hit Enter to add a paragraph mark, it also added this back to the end of the text. Edited March 9 by Godsgirl forgot the example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might have forgotten to add the example. P.S.
