ConnectCreative Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I need to paste a table within a text frame so it can flow with the text when editing - is this not possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConnectCreative Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 Ah, ok. Thanks for the heads-up. I'm quite surprised given that this is a pretty basic thing, it kind of hinders my ability to produce any large documents that contain tables, of which I produce many. Here's hoping it gets considered for the first release! sbyseven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 You can create a table outside the text frame, then drag it over the frame, and set the text wrap properties to ensure the text wraps around it. You cannot, however, anchor it to a specific place in the text.

In a 100 page annual report with lots of tables this would currently be a dealbreaker, I'd have to use InDesign instead (much to my annoyance!).

Michael117 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 @walt.farrell Do you know why the decision was made not to anchor tables to the text? I'm curious as to the reason for that design decision. I would think that most potential customers would find that a problem especially for documents that are text and table heavy. sbyseven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 24, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 24, 2018 Hi Michael117, It isn't a design decision. It simply wasn't implemented yet. Anchored Objects will come in a future update (during the 1.x cycle of the app, after release). icreate 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael117 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Ah, ok, that makes sense. Is there a list of features on the roadmap that we can see. I understand that you can't guarantee when a feature will be implemented, but it sure would help to understand what's your planning on. Thanks!

Staff MEB Posted October 25, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 25, 2018 Hi Michael117, As with the other apps, we will publish a roadmap with the features planned after Publisher's release.

MikeO Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Well glad to hear that it's on the list for planned updates. Without that feature, long document production is basically a non-starter, at least anything with more graphics than a novel. I just hope it's high on this list. icreate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
