jrkay Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 This happened to me, I don't know what I did to make the page do this and I tried to find a way of changing it, without success. Maybe someone would kindly tell me what I did wrong or preferably how to put it right. Thanks John cover page.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 12, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hi jrkay, You probably dragged one of the corner handles of the text frame bounding box (when you move the cursor over them coming from the outside it will switch to a rotate cursor before switching to the scale cursor - dragging at that point will rotate the frame) or the one on top centre (detached from the frame). Select the text frame, go to the Transform panel and set the Rotation (R label) to 0 (zero). Not sure why you are using a text frame as the background(?) for the page. A rectangle shape would probably more adequate? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrkay Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Yes MEB, I did as you said and it changed the text frame to the same angle as the page was but didn't at that time do anything about the angle of the page itself. It was the page at an angle I need to change. This sorted itself out by reloading the publication and it has straightened the page by doing this, so to you, on loading it, the page would have been square. Nothing I did before could change the page itself from this stupid angle to the square one I expected it to be. I wish I'd made a screen grab of it the way it was. Hopefully I won't do that again.

carl123 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 If it happens again.... Right Click on a blank area of your document or on the canvas and you should see a Reset Rotation command You will also see Rotate Left and Rotate Right Apparently, none of these commands should be in Publisher so expect them to disappear in a future beta or final release Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

jrkay Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Thanks Carl, that worked exactly as you said, I must have done this unconsciously without knowing what I was doing, a common state of mind nowadays. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 13, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hi jrkay, When i checked your file I only saw the text frame rotated so I assumed (incorrectly) that by page you were wrongly referring to the text frame. The command View ▸ Reset Rotation does what you want as carl pointed out. Sorry for not being of much help.
