Is it possible to connect different text frames with Affinity Publisher (spreaded over two pages)?

 

The important thing is!:

When if I enter some word like "Product Name" into one text frame, this word has to appear in all text frames that are connected. So I don't have to fill in this word on a manual way into all text frames.

You could place one frame on a Master Page, put the words in it, and then apply that Master Page to any document pages that needs that frame.

Hi @Mareike2022,
welcome to the Affinity forums!

"The important thing is!:" – You description can mean several different things. For instance …

  • The simplest appears to be Find & Replace. Copy an existing text area into the Find field and use this also for Replace where you additionally type the wanted "product name".
  • If you want to enter text within existing text frames AND create copies of this frame then the Data Merge feature might meet your needs.
  • Another option could use Walt's hint and place the frame "product name" on a master page at the wanted layout position AND activate Text Wrap for this frame. This will result in a copy of this frame on every page which has this master assigned AND move existing text of existing frames according its text wrap settings.
