Affinity Publisher 2 Autonumbering / Running Numbers Feature


Recommended Posts

Affinity Publisher is a really good and powerful publisher software. For me, there is one glaring missing feature - autonumbering or running numbers across different elements e.g. Numbers that increase automatically across next consecutive tables or text frames perhaps with every manual copy and paste (I am not talking about page numbers), or much like the autoflow of inserting multiple images but with an accompanying automatic increment of a number label text. Hope I am making sense.

Please point me in the right direction if this feature is already available.

Thank you. Best.

The function is already there, and can be specified in the Bullets and Numbering section of the Paragraph panel or of a Paragraph Text Style.
