Alfred wrote:BookPlus is included in PagePlus X9, but it’s really aimed at multi-author books with lots of illustrations: the official Affinity workbooks were prepared in PPX9, using BookPlus to bring together the work of several contributors. For a 120-page book with a single author you shouldn’t need it, especially not on a modern PC with a decent amount of available hard drive space and RAM, even if your book is heavily illustrated.
The ‘Facing Pages’ layout option in PP gives you mirrored margins by default, allowing for an inner (gutter) margin which is larger than the outer margin.
Thanks for your expert help on this Alfred. I think I see where I can go with this now.
I've used PagePlusX9 with success but mostly for single page docs. But now I need to formatt my 120 page book. I see in the discussions a mention for something called "BookPlus". Is this a part of X9? Or do I need a separate program to do this work?
I mostly looking for guidence of getting the pages settings to persist in X9 throught the book except that I need two different side margins to account for more spacing because of the gutter. One page might have the gutter on the right and another on the left.
Thanks friends. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
@ Pilotion - Nice cover. Looks like you're having fun with it. Working with AI can lead to amazing results.
Here is my cover for my upcoming book. This cover was partly created in PagePlus X9 (thanks to Alfred for that) and partly in my Paint.net photo-editing software.
I do need help with formatting this 150 page book in PagePlus x9 but I'll post that separately to avoid confusion.
I'm trying to place a picture inside a text frame but have difficulty following the built-in "Help" instructions. Does anyone know of a video I can view that explains anchoring and wrapping? I tried many settings but can't get the picture to appear on the left with the text wrapping around it. In this picture, the image is set as "floating," and I can't seem to stop the image from overlapping the text.

Would this be the same or similar action for setting indents on paragraphs in a publication?
This problem I was having with my Page Plus X7 was resolved in a most delightful way by a very gracious and kind member of this forum. I don't know if he would want to be identified here so I'll call him Bob.
"Bob" offered to share with me his original download link and key of Page Plus X9 which is a far better more robust program than my old X7.
So, "Bob" if you see this please except my gratitude for your kindness. It was a huge help to me and I'll never forget you for it.
I'm so grateful to Alfred as well for creating this forum for us. Where would I be without you?

I moved it with this method:
Move programs to a different drive
1- Create a restore point
2- command: robocopy "C:\Program Files\paint.net" "S:\paint.net" /sec /move /e
3- mklink "C:\Program Files\paint.net" "S:\paint.net" /j
Moving from: OS Drive (C)
Move to: SSD Drive (S)
Do you think if I just moved it back to the original drive it would fix the problem?
I moved my Page PlusX7 program to my SSD and now I get this error: Error code PKo0 The application was unable to validate signatures
I do have the licence key for this product but can't open the program.
Can anyone assist?
