rubeekon Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Hi there, is it possible to create an index over 6 magazines which come out in one year? It means there is one magazine produced every two month. In the last magazine of the year shall be published an index overlooking all 6 seperated files. Each file has 100 pages A4.

walt.farrell Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 You would need to merge all six into one .afpub file to create that index. That might be possible in the current 1.8 beta of Publisher.

At least until such time as there is a book file format and if it incorporates indexing from each file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubeekon Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Thank you, Walt, that facilitates my decision for Affinity Publisher. I am changing from InDesign CS 4, didn`t want to go the subscription model of Adobe, and now need a new computer with Mac Catalina 64 bit... And I have the impression the Serif people are very engaged and motivated. I have no problems with some program crashes, startet InDesign with version 1.0 – after using Quark and PageMaker Best regards Rolf walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
