iaing Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Can't seem to select part of placeholder text, only from the whole text box-full, might want to highlight a section as a pull quote for example. purveyor27 1 MacBook Pro M1 Max, macOS 12.6.1 Monterey Affinity Designer : 2.0 Affinity Photo: 2.0, Affinity Publisher: 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_K Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 This is becaise your placeholder text is considered as one piece so it automatically fills the frame as it's resized. As well as the above suggestion in the preferences dialog, you can also expand the placeholder text into real text by right clicking and selecting expand Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purveyor27 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'd suggest that the default would be the same as InDesign where placed text is treated like regular text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaing Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Thanks both - OK, the preference option works - the Expand option vanishes once the text box is linked to another box. Hadn't realised the placeholder was dynamically filling the frame though, that's quite cool.

R C-R Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Not sure if I should start another topic about this -- there are already so many! -- but is there any way to override the existing text entered in Preferences > Filler Text to use the default Lorem Ipsum (or Alice in Wonderland) filler text instead, without deleting the text entered in Preferences?
