Old Bruce Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 No, that is only available in Publisher. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no, you can open a Designer file in Publisher and link the text frames then return to Designer and the text frames will remain linked This also works for linking text frames across Artboards in Designer and it also works with text frames in Affinity Photo If you need to do this sort of thing a lot, Publisher is currently on sale at 50% off for a short while Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, some functions of linked text frames work only within Publisher. For example: hiding text overflow, and showing that the frames are linked, and how they are linked for text flow, or warning you about overflow text before you print or export the file.

Pamuk Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 I'm sorry to hear that. Sometimes I would like to do this without the need for Publisher. I did not buy Publisher. Hopefully it will be added to Designer in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess (and it is purely a guess) is that it will not be added to Designer; that for projects needing that kind of function Serif will expect you to use Publisher. It's on a good sale right now, if you haven't noticed.
