Since this thread began on a political note, I feel compelled to put in my two cents' worth.
This thread actually began with a comment on a criminal case. Nothing political about it, although Donald Trump would have us believe otherwise!
At a time he had the sympathy of many Americans over what's being described as an attempted assassination, Trump chose to tell 80+ lies about the incident in 9 minutes. Why? This report has an answer.
Solved. I hadnt saved the PDF properly so had just sent the copied PagePlus document again.
Good to hear. Thanks for the update!
I think I`ll simply buy my friend a copy of PagePlus if he wants more of my publications.
Much easier said than done these days! PP product keys (any version) are very thin on the ground now.
Thanks for the feedback, Alan. I’m sorry you lost your custom settings, but I don’t suppose they were much use to you if you couldn’t run the program properly! I hope it behaves itself from here on in.
Oossibly.
Did you enjoy writing the poem?
Sent by Copilot:
As an AI language model, I don’t experience emotions or enjoyment, but I’m glad you liked the poem! If there’s anything else you’d like me to create or assist with, feel free to ask. [smiley]Did anyone notice that Copilot contradicted itself in the same sentence?

Oh, well spotted!
Ok, Ive made the PDF and it opens in my PDF reader. How do I save this to my documents as a PDF ( the one I tried to save only opens in my PagePlus and not in a PDF reader ) and how do I sent this PDF to someone in an email . Sorry for my persistance and thanks for your help again.
When you ‘Publish As PDF’ from PagePlus, a PDF file is created and then — unless you’ve told it not to be — it’s displayed in your PDF reader, so it’s already saved at that point and you therefore shouldn’t need to save it again. Depending on your email program, you’ll have an attachments link or button (with its function often represented by a paperclip) and clicking on that will allow you to browse to the PDF file to attach it to the email when you’re composing or editing it.
One thing I strongly recommend is that you configure Windows File Explorer to show file extensions. Windows hides known extensions by default, which means that it isn’t always obvious, for example, whether a file shown in Explorer as ‘mybooklet’ is actually ‘mybooklet.ppp’ or ‘mybooklet.pdf’. A potentially huge source of confusion which is best avoided.
Hmm, I don't see any typos or missing text.
It says “The product of all the numbers from 1 to 10 (meaning 1 x 2 x 3 x…x 9 x 10, and usually written 10)”. I don’t think that product is usually written as 10. 
lost in the tyoesetting
Irony alert! 
Welcome, Alan! Thanks for joining my merry little band.
I seem to remember that the fix for your problem is to reset your user settings, but simply reinstalling the program leaves those settings intact. If you launch the program with the Ctrl key depressed, you should get a dialog popping up to ask whether you want to reset your user settings: put a tick in the ‘Also delete local settings files’ checkbox, if there is one, and then press ‘OK’.
'World's rarest whale' washes up on NZ beach
A whale that was found dead on a beach in New Zealand earlier this month has been identified by scientists as a spade-toothed whale - a species so rare it has never been seen alive.
The five-metre long, beaked creature's identity was determined from its colour patterns and the shape of its skull, beak and teeth.
So, a spade-toothed whale has been identified by the shape of its teeth. You don’t say! 
Well, it is now 7621 views.
Some of those will be bots, of course. At the time of writing, there is one registered user online (me!) and there are seven ‘guests’.
7582 views of this thread just after the poem was posted here.
And how many just before?

Thank you, Alfred! I often get confused, so it could actually be either a Don Sphynx or a Canadian Sphynx
Thanks. I found references to the Canadian Sphynx when I did an image search yesterday, but reading about the Don (Donskoy) Sphynx just now it seems that they’re not related genetically.
Affinity Publisher is only a few years old, PagePlus has been around for three decades.
I made a copy of the document with a different name and saved that as a PDF, save that to my documents and linked that in the email . When i click on it myself it opens in page plus . The recipient is using Adobe reader i believe.
If you left-click, it will open in whatever application is associated with its file type. If you right-click, you should get a context menu whose options include ‘Open With…’ (from where you can choose to open it in Adobe Reader or any other PDF viewer installed on your system).
I am wanting to copy the text of the beautiful sonnet in
https://punster.me/serif/viewtopic.php?pid=3682#p3682
so as to try using Affinity Publisher to produce a display version using my Sonnet to a Renaissance Lady font.
But I have the problem that I had before of not being able to copy text from this forum.
I know that some other people have no problem of such copying and I managed to copy something out once.
So can someone advise me on this please?
William
I recall your having that problem, William, but I seem to remember being left with the impression that it went away without your being able to determine why it did so or what caused it in the first place.
I've attached the content of the linked post as a plain text file.
I suppose that in large enough type in narrow enough columns the very long word in that Mary Poppins song might need to be hyphenated over three lines.
I suppose that you must have had a reason not to type ‘supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ here, but in any case it’s considerably shorter than the equally contrived ‘hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia’ (hyphenation: hip‧po‧po‧to‧mon‧stro‧ses‧qui‧pe‧dal‧i‧o‧pho‧bi‧a). That aside, I don’t recall ever having encountered a narrow column of text containing a line beginning with a hyphen.
Merriam-Webster’s article The Real Origin of ‘Supercalifragilistic’ ends with this delicious observation:
Finally, what of the claim made in Mary Poppins that saying the word loud enough will cause the speaker to sound precocious? We do not have sufficient evidence to support that conclusion at this time.
The underlying issue is that if the answer would have been twelve than there would have needed to be a + sign at the end of the top line and the end of the middle line, and a + sign at the start of the middle line and the start of the bottom line.
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 +
+ 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 +
+ 1 + 1 x 0 + 1 = ?William
If the answer had been twelve, wouldn’t ‘plus’ signs at the beginning of the second and third lines have been sufficient?
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
+ 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
+ 1 + 1 × 0 + 1 = ?
Wow, very stripey! And those ears are amazing!! What breed is it?
As I mentioned to you before, Alfred, I'm happy to be part of your community. It feels like everyone here is very friendly and polite. Thank you!
And as I mentioned to you, Hunter, I’m pleased to have you on board. Welcome!
