Cap Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I found difficult to create a page as the sample. In QuarkXpress is more easy to define a line above and below a text. In Affinity i can't define the lie above, so I have to put another level with blank lines. Thanks untitled.pdf untitled.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 If you need rules look at the Decorations at Text Styles panel. You can add multiple rules to any side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hello, thank for your help, but it found that it works on a line bat if I have many lines the style is at the top and the bottom of paragraph. Whose is wrong? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to reproduce your initial design with Table Styles but they are unable to cope with that. I hope that table styles can be improved upon later.

Yes, but they apply to a paragraph, which means that when a paragraph has several lines of text you can get a decoration line above the first and below the last, but not above/below each individual text line. You'd need to break them into individual paragraphs to get lines around each.

I should have read the initial problem more carefully. The best option here would be to put the text in a Table but unfortunately Table styles will not be able to reproduce the PDF as attached by Cap in his first post. I hope that Table styles in Publisher will become more flexible in the future.

Old Bruce Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Do you have Combine Identical ticked in the definition of the Decoration? Unticking that will give each paragraph its line under, not just the last final. I guess the obvious answer to my next question will be no but here goes, can you not use the underline character style? I know not what you wanted but I thought I would get it out there.
