Affinity Photo 2 | No Text Ruler?

[Garrett Cobarr]

I dive in and out of Photo, Designer and Publisher so often that I believe that I suffer from feature blindness.

I thought that Photo 2 had a text ruler, that appeared when you were using the text tool in a text frame, no?

If not, how do apply and style things such as tabs?

Thanks

You can use the Paragraph Panel -> "Tab Stops", and "Spacing" for indents.

That text ruler is a feature of Affinity Publisher but not Affinity Photo. It is mentioned in https://affinity.help/publisher2/en-US.lproj/pages/Text/indents.html.

I think that either Photo 1 or Designer 1 (or both) might have, at some point, had the Text Ruler button available on the Context Toolbar of the Frame Text Tool for a while but it didn’t do anything, and was there by mistake, so it was later removed.
