Archangel Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 The one thing I was really looking forward to in the 2.1 release of Publisher were the long awaited cross references. It seems it didn't make it into the final release. Still, never mind. I love the running headers. Mind you considering PagePlus X9 had problems with cross references, maybe the wait will be worth it. Hopefully they will add captions and tables of figures as well. That would provide a really powerful facility. Quote

Well, if they need extra time to get it right then good luck to them. Better a fully working feature than a feature which is only partly or shoddily implemented. It means they are taking the feature seriously and that can only be a good thing. debraspicher and walt.farrell 2 Quote

Even better if you can give Serif feedback during the beta process. I think they would need someone more professional than me. I only use the layout software for my own creative content which I can only do part time as I look after my father. You would need someone with a more dedicated work flow and probably access to broadband. All my internet is done over LTE functions on my phone. Broadband is far too expensive. Downloads are not fast and uploads are even slower, reminiscent of dialup I would think. However, I will keep it in mind. If things change then I may join the beta testers. Quote
