This is a great idea + thank you for providing the RegEx for me to try. GREP is one of those things I know is really useful, but I never seem to be able to get my head around. It might be vital for me if I'm going to carry on doing silly things like this. Much appreciated.

I'm an artist!

Apologies for the clumsy phrasing, but I don't know a term for what I want to do. I'm placing a long continuous piece of text (no paragraph breaks) over a series of linked text frames and I want it to be continuous between them, so that if the text reaches the edge of one frame it continues in the next one, even if it's in the middle of a word - i.e. not shifting the whole word over to the next frame, but instead splitting the word between the two text boxes. Does anyone know how to do this or even if there's a term that would help me search for other how to do this?

Just chipping in to say Balance Ragged Lines is something I would consider essential

Yes, I get that. I'm just inquiring as to whether this happens when scalable files are placed. Will do a bit more research and see what happens.

Thanks for the responses - it seems that Affinity is one step ahead of me. I think I had 'prefer linked' in my preferences. It seems that linking .afpub files isn't fully implemented yet, but I'm reassured that it's in the pipeline. Looking in the resource manager, it lists the linked file as "Untitled.tiff" and shows a DPI just under 300. Does this mean these files are rasterised, or is this just a preview? Linking files isn't so much a space-saving measure as it is a means of maintaining the same content in different form factors, btw.

As someone transitioning from InDesign, I often place .indd or .pdf files into another Indesign file, usually to impose a booklet or put multiple pages on one sheet of paper. I was pleased to see that I can do with with Affinity publisher. but... The files are embedded into the Affinity publisher document, not externally linked. This means that any changes i make in the original file don't get reflected in the second, imposed document and can't be updated to reflect said changes. Is there any method to support this? It would enable the creation of multiple formats (imposed printing pages, pdf ebooks, etc) while ensuring the editorial content remains the same across different versions.
