Maxim_Maxim Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Hello everyone I am new to Affinity Publisher and try to figure out how I would able to automate consecutive numbering each text-field? I am trying to do a calendar and just don't want to waste my time on doing this manually. Or is there another way to achieve that? huedrant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komatös Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Hi @Maxim_Maxim Unfortunately no, you have to set it manualy.

It worked for me. The other option via data merge is too complex for my small calendar.

Make a table with the Table tool. Then open the text styles. You will find a style called table body. You have to customize it.

Hilltop Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Great, thank you! Once you know it's easy. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltop Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 This is the first time that I worked with the Table tool and I must say it's not an easy one to master. So, thanks again guys for helping me out here. I created a template for the months and saved it as an asset. Now I can drag & drop a fresh copy for each month and customize it as Anto showed in the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huedrant Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Great! Thanks for sharing all these ideas, I was tinkering around myself with various approaches. Especially I was wondering whether I could use some calendar source with holidays included and use the data merge feature, but had no success so far. Any idea how this could work and how the data source should look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
