That will be a very helpful addition! I used your manual when I was creating my cross-refs and index - it's a great resource. Thanks so much for making it for us all.

Ah, thanks Mike! I'd misunderstood that there was a default style somewhere to format all hyperlinks including cross references - like the default styles in the TOC and Index - that I'd be able to use to change the style when the time came to make the ebook version. So I'll have to create the character style and apply it to each element now, but at least the panel will make it easy to find them all, as you say. I'm only just starting to understand the value of character styles and setting them up right at the start of a project. Live and learn!

I'm publishing my book in both print and digital. I formatted my cross references without any difference in visual style for the paperback, but now I'm converting it to a PDF and I'd like to highlight the clickable links in some way (underlining, maybe). I can't see a way to do this without clicking into each cross reference in turn and updating each individually with a new style. I have around 200 of them, so I hope I'm missing something obvious! 🤞 (I'm using APub 2.2.1 on Windows.)

Amazing, @walt.farrell - you were exactly right on both counts. Thank you so much!

I'm trying to make an index with Affinity Publisher 2.2.1 in Windows, and I have a question and a problem. Problem: My 'See also' references don't seem to wrap onto a new line when they extend past the right margin (see screenshot, I've highlighted the problem). Question: Is there a way to format the words 'See' and 'See also' in the index? I can see where to customize the text, but not the formatting. I usually italicize those words, but I can't see how to do that in Affinity. Thanks so much for any help!

Thank you so much, thomaso. I do use V2 (upgraded on the day it was released!) - I've just tested this and it looks like it'll do exactly what I want with minimal extra work: I'll use Mike's tip to align the left pages correctly, and then batch select multiple right pages at once and transform them by the mm offset I need as you suggested. Lesson learned... I didn't realise this would be an issue when designing simultaneously for both a print and ebook edition of a book, but I'll know better for future projects. Thank you both for helping me figure this out!

Thanks, Mike! Unfortunately, although I did use master pages, my page layout is complex and filled with multiple images, sidebars, etc that aren't part of the main text frame, so that's not going to work in this instance - I wonder if there's a different way to accomplish this. (It's a 200 page document, so I'm desperately hoping I won't have to select every element on every right-hand page and shift them all manually...)

I've set up a print document as spreads, with wider inner margins to account for the gutter, but I'd also like to create a digital version of the document where the page is slightly narrower to remove that extra gutter margin, so the margins are equal on the left and right sides of each page. Is there a way for me to change the printable dimensions to remove a specific amount from the inner edge of each page? I've tried changing the dimensions in Document Setup, but I can't see how to 'cut off' part of the inner edge (i.e. maintain the existing margin at the left edge of the even pages and the right edge of the odd pages). Is there a way to do this, please?
