Affinity Publisher - Topic: Index and Page References

[MikeSB]

Hi all,

I am new to AF Publisher and for now a user of InDesign. While learning many things by using the Test version I encountered one task which I could not solve: I imported a (Indesign created) document with many chapters. Each chapter starts with a prefix like it is possible in InDesign. The page count starts at 1 in each chapter. The index reference page-entry is made of that prefix and the chapter's page number. So the index looks like Reference01 ... 1-5, Reference02 ... 4-12, Reference03 ... 7-3 and so on.

Is there a way to obtain that in AF Publisher too?

Thanks for reading this!

Hi MikeSB,

Welcome to the forums

I'm not sure if I have completely understood what you are looking for, are you wanting page numbers that also include the chapter heading after so many pages? If so then unfortunately I don't believe this is possible with Publisher you can make page numbers that reset/change format each chapter via sections but you would need to add the chapter heading yourself via a TextBox.

Thanks
C

Hello @Callum 😀,

thanks for your reply and I am sorry to not have described the topic clearly. Attached you will find a screenshot. In InDesign you can add a prefix when numbering pages. These prefixes are shown as in TOC as in index (as illustrated in the image).

Is there a plan to add this in Publisher? Or (better) have I overseen a feature?

Michael
