You could align the stroke inside the shape (Stroke panel).

I have plenty of books, modern and relatively old ones, and im not aware of none of them using the Align Left setting.
It was characteristic of the International Style (or Swiss Style): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internati…pographic_Style

I didn't look at your files yet but for troubleshooting such issues, it always helps a lot to:
- Show special characters (at the bottom of Text menu — to interpret them, you could look at these files: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/top…eference-chart/)
- Check the Layers panel (Window menu) https://www.affinity.studio/en/help/panels…/?query=Calques (and subsequent links)

Normally unseen changes will only happen further in the book. If you review it from the first to the last page without never coming back (how difficult it is), you should be safe…

I assume you're talking about the contextual toolbar?
If you prefer panels, you can access the fonts through the Character panel. And, at least on Mac, the 'Font Collection' dropdown (Recents, Favourites,…) offers more subtle options like the Missing fonts or the ability to choose collections defined in Apple's FontBook.
if i select other object that is not the Text Frame, and later i focus again in the Text Frame, the "Recent" section is not focused anymore, but the "All" fonts section.
I don't experience that. It's perhaps a Windows only issue?

I guess that the automatic added hyphens are not really added to your document, as an hyphen you type. So i guess the find and replace dont work with them because that reason.
Indeed, they're not "characters" as would be anything we add with the keyboard.
Nonetheless there should be an easier way to review the automated hyphenation than visually find them all. The idea has been submitted to the dev team, we'll see what happens…
-
(Find and replace will only detect manually inserted soft hyphens, not those inserted during the automated hyphenation process.)
Oh you're right, thanks. That's a real shortcoming. I submitted a bug report.

I was trying make an object or adjust a setting where I could select this object, and it would immediately take its fill and outline rather than going through a Style or Macro.
There is the command Synchronise From Selection (menu Edit > Default). You could assign it a keyboard shortcut in the Preferences if you like.

Did you create the LibreOffice Calc PDF using v26.x?
Would you provide such an exported PDF, alongside with screenshots of the Export options you choose?
It seems like it's more of a LibreOffice issue…
-
I'm not sure to understand your situation but I would try to do the selection in the Layers panel instead of the main window.

16gb ram. […]. RAM is set at 47000
It's usually advised not to exceed the installed physical RAM (in your case 16384 MB) in the Preferences.
But your results might also be caused by the GPU…FYI, on a 2021 MacBookPro 14" M1Pro with 16 GB RAM used on Battery, here is my benchmark (and I don't suffer from sluggish behaviour, even with a similarly large image, but it's RAM intensive):
-
I think the behaviour is reversed compared to Publisher.
You can choose/change it in the Preferences > Tools: Move Tool aspect constrain.

Previously (in V2), images were embedded into the file, and my file size was very small. That was perfect. However, the files I save in the new Studio are becoming excessively large. I don't want to create links or folders for images; I want them to remain embedded within the file as before. Is this possible?
If I take a (modest) V2 file with some embedded images in and I save it in V3, the size shrinks:
You didn't answer to this:
Is this really the same content, or was an image in one of the documents possibly converted to pixels and cropped?
-
Now, the game is: where comes the detail from?
-
You can also toggle on the Preview mode (the button with an eye in the top Toolbar):
-
As it is now, you only have some limited options to workaround this:
- Hidden layers won't print
- Set the object with no colour for fill and stroke
- Use Preflight Control notes
- Place the object out of the page surface
-
Can the file (about 300 pages) be the cause of it (and if so, what could I do against it?).
This is not a very large file (even with a lot of illustrations, insofar they are not pinned in the text) but if all the text frames are linked together, it can need a lot of memory (and thus be slower, even more if swap has to be used).
You could try on a copy of your file to split your text in different "stories", for example after each chapter or each part. To do this, you can follow these steps:

...and it is taking longer and longer to get the login screen. just now it took 40 seconds.
This happens only once each time that Apple updates XProtect.
Affinity developers are aware of this but it seems there's nothing they can do about:
QuoteUnfortunately due to the above reasons, we do not currently have an option to reduce this start-up delay as it is intrinsically built into macOS security protocols and not controlled by Affinity directly - though we have informed Apple of this and will continue to monitor this in future macOS updates.

However, with a Brush/Eraser, it will make it straight but not specifically horizontal/vertical
On my Mac, with the Paint/Erase Brush tools, when shift is keyed down I can only draw vertical or horizontal lines.
