Filler text

By default, filler text is just a single Lorem Ipsum text field, that autofills on frame resize. Filler text doesn't behave as plain text (i.e., it is not editable, with selection being limited to the entire block) but you can change this to normal editable text per frame or use plain text by default.

If you prefer your own custom text, this can replace the Lorem Ipsum text. For spell checking purposes, you can set the language to go with this text.

To add filler text:

With the text frame selected, from the Text menu, select Insert Filler Text.

To convert filler text to normal editable text (per text frame):

-click any portion of filler text and choose Expand Field.

To use plain text as filler text by default:

From the Affinity Photo 2 menu, select Settings (or Preferences).
From the Edit menu, select Settings.
On the General tab, check Insert filler text as text.
