Affinity Publisher | Linking to Word Documents for Automatic Updates

[tomas cisar]

Hi,

Is there any way of linking Word documents / Google Docs for automatic updates via resource manager?

This feature is needed and it´s a must to have linked document from copywriter and keep formatting / styles, either after updates.

In Indesign, this feature is included quite a long time.

Many thanks for help!

Tomas

Hi @Toomash and welcome to the forums. This feature is not available in Affinity. You can link an embedded document such as a PDF for live updates but not a Word or Google Docs document.

Hi @MikeTO, Thank you very much for your reply. It´s a shame. To be honest, this feature is a must! Do you think, it is a chance the feature will be implemented in some next updates? Should I "vote" somewhere?

You can "vote" by requesting the feature in the feedback section. I suggest just replying to one of the existing threads. Here's one:
