T_Hi_Lo Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hi! I'm using Publisher Beta and there are many nice features / implementations of features. Great! 1. It would be nice if I could adjust the strength of the lines showing text boxes / margins like I can while using baseline grids. Now the dominate the visual appearance very much. 2. It would be cool, if there will be an additional option for page number that shows the total number of pages - like Page 2/7 or Page 2 of 7 Cheers!

View > Studio > Fields. In one of the document sections of that panel you'll see Total Pages. Just double click on the field name and the field will be inserted at the current text insertion point. Just put "Page " and the current page number field (from Text > Insert) and "of" in front of it, and you're done.

Ecifircas Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hey, thanks for the help, but I must say that is a very confusing setup. In indesign it is not much better. I don't see why "current page" and "total pages" should not be found under the same menu... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only guess that Text > Insert includes the fields that are considered more commonly needed, and View > Studio > Fields has ones that are less frequently needed. Only the Affinity developers would know for sure.
