lokobesi Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Affinity publisher is a very good program. i used quark-xpress, indesign, pages u.a. and will only use affinity publishing in the future. However, there are 2 things that annoy terribly: 1. the movement tool (black arrow) is most often used. but you have to click it each time in the tool menu, which has caused a lot of superfluous movements. Here, as with Illustrator, it should be possible to switch between the tool last used and the motion tool with an additional key (eg Ctrl / Fn or Alt). 2. The print menu reports that at least one frame contains overflow text. even if you check it frame by frame (here a document with 400 textframes) individually and you determine that with the frame NO overflow is indicated, the warning notice appears) to eliminate. Here i expect, that the frames with overflow will be shown, so you can correct them. maybe there are solutions in the program. Unfortunately I did not find them and would be grateful for a hint. sorry for the bad english. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @lokobesi. 1. You can select the Move Tool by pressing its keyboard shortcut, which is V by default. If you happen to be typing text at the time, press Escape, then V. 2. If you enable the men item View > Show Text Flow, then each text frame in the document will have a blue outline around it. If the frame has overflowing text, then the blue outline will have a red dot on the upper-left and lower-right sides. So you can simply scan through your document looking for the dots. To make it easier to find them, you can zoom out so all the pages are visible on the screen, and the red dots will be very obvious. However, I agree that it would be nice if there were a way to automatically move to the pages with the overflowing frames. lokobesi 1 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.
