Rigorious Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) Hello Affinity-Team and Forum-Members like in Aldus Pagemaker, Word, Quark Xpress (through Xtension), (guess Freehand did also) and even Apples actual TextEdit there is/was the Option to select Text in a vertical direction/way. That means you can select ‚over the line‘ in Tab-formated Text for example to format rows (thick, bold, colored Prices f.e.) without using a real table!! Know what I mean? We, a team of 6 Designers use it very often and have to do so Line-by-Line because we are using InDesign that, to sad, also does NOT offer this kind of Textselection! Try editing some Text in Apples TextEdit using the Alt-Key selecting Text in that way to know what I mean …!! Could/will you implement that in the next or further Versions of AP?? This would be great and a very unique Selling-point for AP for sure! In case of implementing you could do such like this (see attachment)! Or is there any workaround for this??

Hello @Rigorious, currently there is no such function in APub available. A possible workaround would be to copy the text in question and paste it into a programme that offers this kind of manipulation. Once you have selected the text you need to copy you can copy and paste it back into APub at a position where you want it to be. This is, indeed, a workaround (with many clicks and keystrokes). But if you need this only occasionaly this should do for now d.

Fixx Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Yes, that would be sometimes useful. I did not know it is also possible in MS Word – and that is really useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
