cut/paste portion of the text inconvenience


Recommended Posts

Hello all. This is a small problem I encountered while editing my page. When I have a text block and from that block I cut words, then paste while nothing is selected, I get a huge box that goes out of screen. I highlighted with yellow on the screen capture where I cut the part of the text, and when I pasted, the big block marked with red color appeared. This is inefficient. In my experience with Indesign, the pasted text should have a text block that matches the size of the text.

Just curious here, is the resultant pasted Text Frame the same size as the frame from which you cut the text?

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

No, the original frame was the size of 2 text lines. You can test this yourself in 5 seconds. Just make a text block with text. Cut any text of character, paste it and you will see what I'm talking about.

I don't see that. I get a reasonable sized text frame (larger than needed, but not huge like yours), centered on the page. What OS are you using?
