Is there any option to cross-reference Figure (Table,photos) numbers in Publisher like InDesign? I have more than 100 figures inside my thesis document but I have no option to cross reference the text (figure no) inside a paragraph to the actual figure number as illustrated in page no 4 & 6 of the attached sample document . Please see if there's a feature alternatively, I could use for this. Or any other way to do it in publisher? The problem is shown in the video below..

I had earlier posted request for Cross-referencing under a different serif blog with an Video illustration of what exactly needs to be incorporated . here's the link for it. hope it clarifies some doubts on Cross-referencing trailing posts on this blog here. please check it out and let me know .

OMG !! You have best delivered the BOOK FEATURE in Publisher 2.0 . ITS ROCKING !! Thanks a million.

Think footers and cross-references are going to be supported in the next release

This decision will be a game-changer for affinity for a close competition with Indesign

I shall make a small video of the resolved issue very soon

hey @walt.farrell, you said "Serif have said that this feature is coming". Which features are you referring to?

Wow, I'm excitedly waiting it arrival !!

@walt.farrellPlease ask Creators to include the beautiful cross-reference tool, footnotes, Book document among other documentation tools for the next release of Publisher. Also , plugin support for Zotero, Mendeley for Citation work. Can't wait to see these features embraced for better productivity of the users of Publisher.

Yes, I totally agree with you on your last point about having to renumber the reference text if actual figures move around in the body text. That's really a lot of hard work for some 100+ figures. Working with such cross-references is a breeze with InDesign that makes it powerful for document work along with other features like footnotes, running headers etc. Affinity Publisher is an incredibly powerful tool too, but I'm sure the creators have to include these documentation features along with scripting support to make it even more powerful and outweigh InDesign in all forms. One other feature that needs to be included in the publisher is the book document feature of Indesign. It's an incredibly powerful tool when working with multiple chapters of an extensive document file.

very well explained. thanks a lot.

Lets close this post as the problem is resolved at my end now.

sorry, I probably attached a wrong youtube tutorial with the post. Also attaching my publisher document , so that one can demonstrate to me how it can be done. thanks Thesis report - TOC - Figures - tables .afpub
