CarlM Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 "Pin to Text" works fine when working with images in text frames created on the page but when pinning to text in pages using frames created in the Master pages the function sticks resolutely to the default position Publisher first applies in the frame. I've attached a screen capture video to demonstrate. 2019-08-11 12-16-56.mp4 Wosven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I have the same problem, and didn't realise it was due to a master page's frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seneca Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 30 minutes ago, CarlM said: the function sticks resolutely to the default position Publisher There are other problems with pinning options with a text box placed in Master Pages. Inline in Text doesn't work either and if you place text in a Maser Page you won't be able to pin a picture to this text from any other page. 2017 27” iMac 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 • Radeon Pr 580 8GB • 64GB • Ventura 13.6.4. iPad Pro (10.5-inch) • 256GB • Version 16.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right-click on the Master page layer on the normal page then select Edit Detached you can then adjust the pinning to text as required (click Finish when done) Not sure if this is a bug, "as designed" or something that needs another look at by the Devs. To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

I recently reported another issue with Spell checking in Text Frames created in Master Pages. That was escalated and resolved in Beta 422 and my guess is it's related. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/93577-publisher-spellcheck-bug/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn T Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I add a picture and move it into place and text wrap but when I click float to text the picture disappears and the pin shoots to the top of the page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlM Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Which version of Publisher are you using? I've tested it on both the release version and the latest beta and can't repeat the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn T Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I just purchased publisher this week 1.8.4 It doesn't happen all of the time. Could there be something in the text formatting that may affect it? I am new to publisher and am learning a lot. I uploaded a docx file to start and I did have some object placeholders in that file. I deleted the object (rectangle) before placing the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you have an older version when you bought APu this week? BTW you posted your question into the beta section. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn T Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I had a trial which I was already using . It's about 3 weeks old... I didn't download one when I purchased as I already had one I was working on. Maybe I should have downloaded the new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
