wkoehn Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 Is there any way in publisher to have a block of items with margins between so that if a text frame changes height, the frames below it maintain their "margin" distance? Quote
wkoehn Posted July 2, 2019 Author Posted July 2, 2019 I've got this working to a point using the pinning functionality. However, for this to work properly I will still need the 2 column text frame to auto size to the height of the content it contains... Quote
walt.farrell Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @wkoehn. I don't think there's a way to get your two-column frame to autosize automatically. However, you can quickly balance the text and resize the frame to the minimum needed by double-clicking on the bottom center node of the Text Frame once you've entered the text: Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Unfortunately there is no such feature yet to be able to work in background. Instead you need to use the option "align vertically" in 3 steps each time a frame height changes: 1. unckeck the "Auto Distribute" 2. set a specific distance 3. click the most right button above Quote • MacBookPro Retina 15" | macOS 10.14.6 | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 • iPad 10.Gen. | iOS 18.5. | Affinity V2.6
