defining filler text properties

[GeorgeB]

Hi,

Does anybody know how to specify filler text properties like the number of characters, words, or papagraphs? Is there a tool to look up those properties for any text that has been filled into a text box at all? Beeing used to Adobe InDesign I really miss this feature. Apart from that Affinity Publisher is the programme I have been dreaming of.

Hi GeorgeB,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Thanks for your feedback. Glad to know you're enjoying Publisher. There's no control/settings for this other than defining your own filler text (Preferences, Filler Text section). Currently it just fills the whole text frame.

Thank you for this quick answer.

Is there any possibility to see the number of words or characters of a text in Publisher at all. So far I copy and paste the text into a word document only to look up those properties.
