FMS Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I'ld like to make a textbook that aligns to the guides, give it a border (stroke) and background (fill), and have some margins of the text to the outside. All I can do except the inner margins. So now the text is right against the border, which doesn't look that nice. I can do something like this using paragraph decorations, but then the text is aligned to the guides and the stroke and fill will go outside. Is there a way to make this work in such a way that the stroke and fill will align instead of the text? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a setting of 'Insets' that does what you are looking for d.

FMS Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Thanks, that's what I was looking for! dominik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amdival Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Where are these options now? EDIT: Nevermind. It looks like they have removed the View > Studio > Textframe panel. What I am looking for (insets) can be found in the text style as Paragraph > Spacing > Left Indent and Right Indent. EDIT AGAIN: Doh, I was using Affinity Designer. I see this post is about Affinity Publisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
