Rory Mole Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hi there to you all, Firstly, I am sorry if this topic has been covered in these forums. I did a search to find the answer to my question before posting. I am laying out a long book for a client. Her manuscript has been written in MS Word and saved as a .docs file. The document contains about 35000 words. I am wanting to place the text into Affinity Publisher without having to create 250 pages first and dragging out text boxes. When I place the document in the first Publisher page within APublisher, how would I be able to have the text "flow" onto other pages below without having to manually drag out text frames? Is there a quick way of doing this? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h_d Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Sounds like a job for Autoflow. There are instructions in the help files, but basically you draw one text frame, paste in all your text, then shift-click the Text Flow button (red triangle) on the right-hand side of the frame. Publisher will automagically create new pages and frames to accommodate your text. firstdefence and dambova 2 Quote Affinity Photo 2.0.3, Affinity Designer 2.0.3, Affinity Publisher 2.0.3, Mac OSX 13, 2018 MacBook Pro 15" Intel.
