@walt.farrell ahhh. of course. didn't think of that. Thanks!

The reason for the importing of footnotes and endnotes from Microsoft word documents is this:

I layout academic books for clients who put their own footnotes into Microsoft word which is their writing software of choice for their manuscript.  When I layout their book in a layout program such as Affinity Publisher, I want to have the ability to "place" or "import" their manuscripts which contain lots of footnotes and/or endnotes.  I do not want to have to manually add 500+ footnotes into their sentences of text on pages in Affinity Publisher.  Adobe InDesign has this ability and I am wanting to completely move away from Adobe. This is not going backwards from a horse to a donkey as you have questioned, it is just how things are in the book publishing industry.

 

Also here footnotes/end notes essential in book publishing

I'm sure the dev team are already working on this.

+ 1 for this. So far as I can tell from a first test flight, the only important feature that would stop me from quitting Adobe CC would be missing foot and end notes. 

Are footnotes and endnotes currently possible (besides manually creating them, of course)? I haven't found them so far.
If not, this is a feature that I think would be widely used. I suspect it may take some time to get right if it is not yet under development, so I would understand if it is not a day-1 feature.

Hi William,
 
Polish? No :) . The book was written in Italian in the Mellel word processor on a Mac. Font Cambria. From there I exported as a Pdf. In Mellel and the PDF the letter combination is as it should be f + i. When I open the PDF in AP I get the stroked L and an i with a tracking of -237 0/00 (so they are overlapping in AP. When I activate unicode I get EG+0151 in stead of the stroked L. Seems to me the translation goes wrong from pdf to AP.

added logs

work without any problems. Must say that extracting seemed to take quite some time.

I'm having issues with selecting text using the cursor keys. Maybe it has to do with preferences on my Mac but I don't think so. I already adapted the shortcut keys for Publisher (disabling alt + left and alt + right) and hope to work like this:
alt + right-arrow => go to end of word (add shift to select)
alt + left-arrow => go to start of word (add shift to select)
alt + up arrow => go to start of paragraph (add shift to select)
alt + down arrow => go to end of paragraph (add shift to select)
home (numeric pad) => go to start of text (add shift to select)
end (numeric pad) => go to end of text (add shift to select)
It seems Publisher allows only to select words or the entire text using the cursor keys. I didn't find any options to define shortcuts for moving or selecting text...
What is your experience?

@Chris B.  The text is there, but the link on the menu bar isn't working/implemented yet

@iMatt... as the announcement on the publisher page says...
 

It's not possible at the moment but it seems like a good improvement. I will move your suggestion to the Feature Request section.

would like to see export as tiff with an extension of "tif". Some programs don't like tiff.
