Like said most keyboards have F1-12 keys.
I made that comment about its being “more device-dependent than OS-dependent” because you said “most keyboards for windows” [my emphasis].

Ok Alfred, thanks for the slap on the wrist
I’m sorry if it came across that way, John! Most forums that I’ve ever used don’t flag up an edited post as ‘unread’, so I was making what I hoped would be a helpful suggestion.

Anybody got any clues please? Cheers John Ok think I have solved it.
For future reference, when you’ve found a solution that you want to share it’s easier for others to see it if you make a separate post instead of editing your original question.

On most keyboards for windows there will be F keys present which doesn't need an FN key.
I think that’s more device-dependent than OS-dependent. A laptop keyboard often has to incorporate a Fn key to allow switching between video buttons (Play, Pause, Rewind, etc) and +/- controls such as volume and brightness.

Do you (or Alfred) know: was it the same way in the old PagePlus?
I don’t know what was going on behind the scenes, but my recollection is that bleed in PagePlus was always expressed in terms of either millimetres or fractions of an inch (as you would expect).

Didn't know how the feather value affected the marquee
A non-zero feather value softens the edges of the selection marquee, but the ‘marching ants’ only show you the part of that region which is at least 50% selected.

And even worse, if your page has a bleed, even that does matter.
Utterly crazy! When does anyone normally set up a bleed which isn’t specified in physical units?

The Montserrat font family is available for free from Google Fonts.

Do you have a cursor in the text frame where you want the page number to appear?

Following the suggestions by Dekos will not cause loss of assets, brushes, etc. They said to leave the top 3 options enabled.
Thanks for pointing that out, Walt! I only took in the reference to a ‘factory reset’ (which to me means wiping out all of the settings); I failed to notice that Ðekos went on to mention leaving the top three options in their default enabled state.

Well actually WIN has ALT GR and windows Key
European keyboards like yours and mine do, but a standard US keyboard does not. Alt Gr can sometimes be replaced by Ctrl+Alt, but I think that’s software dependent.
A standard Mac keyboard has a Command (Cmd) key which usually behaves like the Ctrl key on Windows. Macs also have a Control (Ctrl) key, but it doesn’t have a direct counterpart on Windows.
I’ve never known the Windows key to be used for anything other than system functions (e.g. WinKey+R to invoke the ‘Run’ box).

Mac Shortcuts can be translated by PC Users so this is no flaw I guess...
The big problem with keyboard shortcuts is that Mac users have an extra modifier key available to them, so Windows users like you and me have no choice but to resort to awkward (and sometimes impossible) combinations of keys and mouse buttons.
What do you think?
I like what little I’ve seen of Sophie’s tutorials. 👍

the only thing you'll lose will be your settings
You’ll lose any personalization, including things like assets and custom brushes, so you need to make sure that you’ve backed up the *.propcol files for the items that you want to keep.

To avoid extra pixels around the edges of an exported image, you need to make sure that the pixel dimensions (W and H) and the pixel coordinates (X and Y) of the image on the Affinity document canvas/page all have integer values. You might think, as I do, that the position on the page or canvas shouldn’t matter, but it does!

Square roots never entered my mind.
For a corner between two sides that are at right angles to each other — which is what you have in a rectangular frame — the mitre angle is 45° and its length is therefore √(1² + 1²) = √2.

an complex brush
Language tip: in English you should always use the ‘a’ form of the indefinite article unless the following word begins with a vowel sound or an actual vowel.

I'm sorry, but I don't speak Klingon, and there isn't a translation programme that can help me with this.
Try Bing Microsoft Translator.

I’m missing one detail… the shadows cast by at least two penguins. Not that I’m being fussy… but when I look at it, my inner Monk comes out.
You’re correct about the missing shadows, but arguably incorrect about not being fussy! Having said that, I don’t think you need to be an Adrian Monk to notice that particular detail.

I'm half kidding, but if I were going to do that I'd use a font and bring in the colors myself.
What do you mean by “bring in the colors [yourself]”? Are you talking about converting to curves and then colouring the individual elements, or do you have a method of applying new colours without losing the ability to keep the text editable?
