Text Frames with same text different styles?


Recommended Posts

Hey all, appreciate the help in advance.

I am trying to find a way to "link" two text frames (not with the link tool) so that they will display the same text but using different stlyes (i.e. for a footer to display the title text). Is it possible to do this without having to copy paste from title to footer on every page?

Hi @Valentor

You could set up multiple master pages with the different footers.
It also makes sense to create a separate combined paragraph/character style for the different footers.

AMD Ryzen 7 5700X | INTEL Arc A770 LE 16 GB  | 32 GB DDR4 3200MHz | Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (22631.3085)
AMD A10-9600P | dGPU R7 M340 (2 GB)  | 8 GB DDR4 2133 MHz | Windows 10 Home 22H2 (1945.3803) 

Affinity Suite V 2.3.1 & Beta 2.(latest)

There's nothing you get used to faster than working slowly!

Hi and welcome to the forums @Valentor,

You would need to use a Field named called Running Header in the Fields panel's Document Sections. Put that in the Footer on the master pages and it will repeat what you type in the header. I include a file for version 2 of Publisher. This feature is only available in Publisher 2.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Hi @Valentor and welcome to the forums,

Could you upload a quick screengrab showing the outcome you are expecting with the two text frames, I think that may make it easier to understand what it is you're looking to achieve.

Absolutely. The text frame up top is the title and I would like that to repeat in the bottom right corner (with different paragraph style). I need to change this title every 2 pages give or take so it becomes quite tedious to manually change the bottom text frame on each as well. Thank you!
