Publisher, importing text to new pages automatically

[Adriano101]

I am working on a document 180 pages long that I received in .docx format. I need to redesign its layout for print and edit formatting.

I am new to Affinity Publisher, so this might sound very basic.

I have created my new document, A4 with facing pages and a master page.
In the mater page I created my text frame on the left page and I have linked the text frame on the right page with the red triangle.

When I am on the page 1 of my document, I would like to paste the whole text within the text frame and have the document doing the following:

- automatically create as many pages as the text requires
- link all the text frames together; eg: if the text exceeds the text frame on page 3 it should automatically link the text frame on page 4, and so forth.

Is there a way to do this?

In Affinity it's called AutoFlow text …

Ok, I need to press ALT+ click on the red triangle!

Got it!

This will create a single new page with a text frame.

If you want to add as many pages as needed to include all the pasted content, you 'll have to press Shift instead…
