Welcome, Lindy! Who advised you not to use the original CA Pro, and why? It obviously doesn’t have any of the features that were added in version 2, but it’s still a very capable program.

I can provide you with a download link for the CA2 installer if you don’t have a copy of it, but that would only be of use to you if you still have your product key. If you don’t have access to a product key, you won’t be able to install the product.

Affinity Designer can be used for card making, but it doesn’t have punches, stencils, or ‘intelligent’ photo frames. It also can’t read Digikit files, so you would need to export (to JPEG or PNG) any kit elements that you want to use.

It’s very noticeable that the Chilean Army shield is visible front and centre most of the time, only disappearing when the static images give way to short stretches of moving images.

These coin designs will eventually replace the current shield

Although that shield was introduced fifteen years ago, I wasn’t actually aware of its existence until very recently!

A crown was five shillings, so I wouldn’t count “a half crown” or “half a crown” as slang.

Thank you 50 times!

Geoff (‘GB’) is the one who pointed you in the direction of Trimmed Mode, so he’s the one who deserves the thanks! That aside, I’m glad you got the answer you needed.

Hello,
I'm having this problem as well, but I can't select "Clean Design" to switch it on or off. The box is grayed out on my screen.

I’m pretty sure that Geoff has correctly identified the cause of your problem:

Maybe you have Trimmed Mode selected.

With regard to your follow-up remark:

I'd really like to find a solution that doesn't entail reinstalling the software (as I don't know where I've put the activation codes).

The product key should be available via the ‘About PagePlus…’ splash screen in a working copy of the program:

If it isn’t displayed there, you can extract it from the Windows registry:

The product key should show up after the product is registered. Go to ‘Help > Registration Wizard…’ and enter the universal registration key 881887, and then go to ‘Help > About PagePlus…’ and look for the product key at the bottom of the splash screen.

there is still a product key in the PC somewhere

Are you sure about that? It depends on the severity of the the crash, of course, but if you can retrieve the product key you should be good to go once you have a copy of the installer.

I’m afraid I don’t have PagePlus in front of me right now, so I can’t show you a screenshot, but what you need is ‘Button Text’. When you choose the Artistic Text Tool you should see several preset text paths on the Context toolbar, one of which allows for three lines of text (an upper semicircle, a lower semicircle, and a straight line across the middle). If you select only two lines of text and then press the relevant toolbar button, you’ll get the two semicircles with the text the right way up in both cases.
