Publisher: Import to template

[joaopvilla]

Hey folks!
I hope you are all doing well today!

I'm evaluating Affinity, and I would like to know if it's possible to, like in InDesign, create a book layout template and then import a document (docx or whatever format) and layout it according to the template, so I don't need to manually layout the book, just look through it and fix anything that might be odd.

Is that possible? If so, how do I do it? How do I create a template and then import content to it?

Thanks for your help!
Cheers, J.

Hi @joaopvilla and welcome to the forums.

Please have a look the Samples. If activated you'll find the samples at the start screen. If not, go to Help -> My Account.

There is the ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND. You can clean up the pages and save it as template. Or you design your own document and save it as template too.

@Komatös, amazing! Thanks for your answer! And how do I import a document to follow that template later on? Is just importing normally?

@joaopvilla, to import choose Place from File Menu.

But do note there is currently no means of mapping styles, alarms InDesign. Which I think you were inquiring about.
