Text deleted when switching from 2-page to single page spreads


Recommended Posts

Posted in support forum previously. I think this is a bug.

I'm using Affinity Publisher Beta v. 1.7.0.249. I started with a facing-pages spread layout, and filled it with text (100+ pages). As an experiment -- since I know of a publishing house that requires single-page spreads and doesn't want two-page spreads -- I unchecked the "facing pages" box in the Document Setup dialog. All of my text disappeared! Images are still on the pages on which I placed them, but there is no text at all.

I had saved the document, and reverted to that version, so nothing was lost, but if I need to go to a single-page format, I'll have to recreate the entire document.

Is this a bug, or a feature that is still incomplete? It should work to switch the layout once the text is placed.

Do that at the export stage. 

I think it would be great to have the pages switch from double to single page spreads but with out a single page Master Page (actually a pair, Left and Right) There is nothing for Publisher to flow text in. At least that is how I see the current set up. Perhaps you could try a Pair of Single Master Pages then put them on the Double Page Master ... seems like too much work with many pitfalls.

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

To clarify that, when you export, select "All Pages" instead of "All Spreads" as the range of what is being exported.

Thanks for setting it straight. I always miss out the most important part in the advice I give.
