My pleasure MTM. Let me know if there is anything else that would be helpful in Affinity Publisher

Happy you got something from it man. I have some more recent ones that may help too :)

I may have what you are asking wrong, but I will try to answer your question as I read it. If you are trying to use the master page as a basis for creating a variant of an object like a text box. As in, you want to modify something in the master page for use on a page, I would suggest opening the master page and copying the asset you want, go to the page and paste it then modify. Then open the layers panel and hide the master page from that page, or right click on the page in the pages panel and select 'clear masters'. If you still want to use master pages but some variation on pages, I'd suggest copying the assets you want and making a new master page, then apply it to the page you like. Hope this helps!

You're welcome!

I have that version but have not actually tried it yet on my ipad. It looks amazing for a tablet app. Have you tried it?

Thanks Kurt yeah I figured this out a bit after this vid...I may make an updated video with this better method for sure. Affinity is so amazing that there seems to be multiple ways to do everything. Appreciate the comment.

I actually have a later video showing pretty much what you describe. I have found sometimes I require a more static shape text boxes especially if using larger fonts, but the image wrapping text boxes is better in most situations for sure.

Thanks. Yes I actually cover that in a more recent video :)

Yeah there is a table tool but it's still fairly basic. Hopefully one day they develop it to include formulas etc. Apparently you can import Excel files, but I have yet to try it.
