Welcome to the forums @Aurica

By “switching from” did you mean you used the “Edit in Designer” and “Edit in Publisher” functionalities in the File menu, or something else?

If you have both Publisher and Designer then (in a lot of cases) you shouldn’t need to use Designer unless you need its Export Persona its Export Persona and/or Pixel Persona.
Just open the document in Publisher and then switch to the Designer Persona, and back, as necessary.

Hi @Aurica and another welcome to the forums,

How are you selecting the second page in Publisher?

  • Are you just scrolling to it in the viewport
  • Selecting it in the Pages Panel
  • Double-clicking it in the Pages Panel
  • Using Document > Go to Page

Before selecting Edit in Designer for the second page is the correct page number shown in the status bar at the bottom left of the screen?

I'm very new to publisher 

How are you selecting the second page in Publisher?

  • Are you just scrolling to it in the viewport - NO
  • Selecting it in the Pages Panel -  YES
  • Double-clicking it in the Pages Panel - YES
  • Using Document > Go to Page - YES

Before selecting Edit in Designer for the second page is the correct page number shown in the status bar at the bottom left of the screen? - YES

 

I hadn't noticed that you can scroll through the pages in designer - That will do me

That's what I meant. I needed to do some editing using the Pixel persona in designer which doesn't seem to be available in Publisher

You can't but you do need to ensure you have the actual page selected before switching to Designer from Publisher...

Yes, you'd also need Photo to have that.

Are you sure about that, I think the Pixel Persona is a standalone part of Designer...

I think we're talking at slight cross purposes but I understand what you're saying... There is no Pixel Persona in Publisher, only a Photo Persona, so yes, you'd need Photo to use the Photo Persona but in response to Gary's initial reply asking why the need to switch to Designer"

The reply was "That's what I meant. I needed to do some editing using the Pixel persona in Designer which doesn't seem to be available in Publisher"...

I read your reply to "Yes, you'd also need Photo to have that." as you'd need Photo to use the Pixel Persona in Designer, hence my reply...

Sorry for any confusion...
