Editing and updating text and MS word files

[Bold Venture]

Users can update/change graphics when editing in Adobe Photoshop and Affinity Photo ... Graphics automatically update in Adobe InDesign and Adobe Publisher. However, when working with InDesign, changes made in Microsoft Word apparently don't update the placed text. Has Affinity a workaround for changes in text?

When I create an eBook in MS Word and a paperback layout in InDesign, I have to make changes in both Word and InDesign. If Affinity Publisher could actually LINK to the word file, and changes in word were reflected in Publisher, it would be a game-changer in saving time and keeping files accurate.

No.

Going back to when i was using Indesign (years and years and years) I think there was an attempt at this but it would strip out all the text formatting done in InDesign each time there was a change in the linked/placed text/word document. This rendered it utterly useless.
