Using word files in Affinity Publisher


Recommended Posts

I have been a user of the Serif Page Plus programs for years and just design a simple A5 40 page booklet for our village each month.  I am finding the importing of word documents into my Affinity file very difficult and miss the ability to let text run on to extra pages as and when needed.  This really is making my like stressful as I cannot get this to work well in Affinity.  Please advise.

Import all your text into one text frame, on one page.

When it overflows you will have a red linking triangle on the lower-right edge of the frame. Shift+Click on it and Publisher will duplicate your page and flow the overflow text onto it.
