[Find and Change Text]

Thanks folks. Just gotta know where to look. So far Publisher is doing everything I need.

Car123. I'd say most counties have their version of Boris.

[Find and Change Text]

I have only recently downloaded Publisher. Going through it with an existing book file comparing its functions with Indesign. So far pretty impressed however one Indesign feature I can't locate is Find and Change. This is a very handy text  tool for authors who may be near finishing a manuscript and decide they want to change a character's name or a misspelt word. Does it exist in Publisher? Perhaps it has another name.

[Switching Indesign Files Into Affinity Publisher]

Hi Fixx

That is my Plan B.

[Switching Indesign Files Into Affinity Publisher]

Thanks for your replies. I should read the blurbs more carefully. Anyway, all is well. I use Adobe CS6. Indesign provides for export to IDML. 

I'm an author and to be nice to the publishers I create my own book templates. I converted one of my manuscript files to IDML and opened it in Publisher. On a brief inspection it seems to present quite well. Will be interesting to see if has the same characteristics as the original IDD file. I'm a fan of Indesign and know it quite well but Adobe have just priced themselves out of the market.  Now comes the onerous task of learning new software. Got a feeling it will be worth the effort.

[Switching Indesign Files Into Affinity Publisher]

Just bought Affinity Publisher because I'm hoping it's the answer to the problem of losing all my Adobe CS6 software once I upgrade to Mac Catalina or Big Sur. And I don't want to pay a fortune to rent Adobe CC. I was aware that Indesign files could be turned into pdfs and imported but this seemed a clunky way to get the files into Publisher. Then I heard that the new version of Publisher can just open Indesign flies. Great news. Tried to open them but Publisher does not recognise them.

Am I missing something? Was my information wrong? Please help.
