Petar Petrenko Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Please,, Can you move the "Insert filler text as text" from "Preferences > General" into "Preferences > Filler Text" section. IMO it is more logical. BTW, this section does not exist in Photo and Designer. It must be added because they support filler text. Add "Stroke Panel" in Photo. Add "Appearance Panel" in Publisher. A nice text frame effects could be created. I tried something in Designer. When I wanted to convert a irregular poligon with multiple stroke effect to a text frame -- the effect dissapeared. Very dissapointing. A stroke width can't be applied to a Text frame, too. It is applied to a text outline instead, which is not correct.

Old Bruce Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I agree, the choice to not include Filler Text in the Preferences for Photo and Designer may have made sense when they were the only applications it doesn't make any sense now.

fde101 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 #1 - agree #2 - indifferent #3 - already there in the Designer persona within Publisher, which makes sense #4 - you can already do this, it's just not obvious: use the Fill Tool and set the target to Stroke - Frame in the context toolbar. You can then adjust the stroke properties of the frame using the Stroke studio panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make things in #4 even more cofusing You can assign stroke properties (and fill) from the text frame panel. d. fde101 1 Quote Affinity Suite on Windows (V2) and iPad (V2).
