Changing Defaults in Footnotes In Affinity Publisher 2

[Robert Gibson PWES]

Hi guys!

Just a quick question - with the new Footnotes feature in v2, I seem to manually have to set the serialization every time I use Footnotes so that the numbering does not restart every frame. I'd love it to be set to start at 1 and never restart (restart every Document, in my case.)

 

Is there a way to set this as default anywhere? Otherwise I'd have to remember to turn on the Notes panel and manually switch it from Restart Every Frame, which seems to be the default.

You could start your new documents using a Template rather than a Preset, and set the Template to have the setting you want. I don't think there's any other way of doing it.

Hmmm .... okay that makes sense. Thanks!

There's actually a way to do this.

Create a new document. Change Footnotes > Restart Every from Frame to Document. Then choose Save Document Settings as New Defaults. Quit Publisher and restart and you'll have Restart Every > Document as your new default. This obviously works for all the Note panel settings so set it up once and then save it.

Cheers
