soundmanbrett Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I was just trying to use the N-up when printing and I was excited to see that feature but I found that I couldn't enter a value into the top, VGap, Left, and HGap fields. I can use the arrows to change them in whole inch increments. I can not enter my own value. I was trying to make a 3-up document with a third of a sheet for each. I created a spread that was 8"w x 3.166"h and that would require a .25" Top and a .5" VGap but I can only select whole inch values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typo998 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 @soundmanbrett Hi, I'm able to make it without any problem (don't forget to enter the number of time you want your repetition). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundmanbrett Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 I've got this feature working but from looking at yours the background for the entries Left, Top, etc are dark grey. Mine are white and the text I enter is white so I can't see what I've done until I hit enter and then the text turns black. Thanks for your help.

PMan Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Hi soundmanbrett, Like Typo988, I have no problem with N-up though i) I change the paper size from defined by driver to the actual paper size I'm going to print on and ii) I changed from Range Document to Range Selection as I'd simply drawn a rectangle of the size you'd tried What version are you using I'm using Beta 257, and text is clearly visible using Light or Dark modes Finally I set up a spread of the required size, drew a rectangle on it then set N up to use Document as the range and that works too Pman (Windows 10 64 bit Home Edition Affinity Publisher Beta 1.7.0.257) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMan Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hi soundmanbrett, Following my post above, it is interesting to note that if you set the Down value to 3 but leave the Repeat at 1 then a) the preview pane shows ONE copy of whatever you are going to print, AND a dotted box (not immediately obvious until you know it appears), showing how much space on the page would be used. Printing at this setting only produces one instance on the print out. b) if you set the vertical gap too large so that the resultant printout wouldn't fit on one page, then the preview turns red. When repeat is set to more than 1 then the preview shows what the printout will look like but again if the resultant settings mean that the printout won't fit one page, the preview turns red Repeat set to 3 and V gap to 0.5 in V gap set to 0.7 inch results in last image NOT fitting on page ERROR Finally if you set Repeat to 4, 5 or 6 then you would get two pages of printout, set to 7, 8 or 9 you would get 3 pages, etc. Hope you sort out your original problem of not being able to see/set gaps - have you tried resetting Publisher Beta by holding down CTRL whilst starting Publisher until a prompt box appears?
