I have been trying to edit an updated version of my book. I had a design a few years ago and have since updated the content in Word. I then removed the previous version and placed the new content. I was busy trying to get the styles reformatted correctly, and somewhere along the line, the content shifted inward about a quarter inch on both sides. I don't know when this happened. (this might have happened when I first placed and I just didn't notice due to guides being off) But regardless, how do I fix it without manually moving 250 pages of frames manually?

SIDE QUESTION:

Does Affinity maintain index tags from Word? I have all my verses indexed, and spent a lot of time adding subindex codes so they will be organized by Bible book order, so hopefully Publisher will maintain this?

If you created the frames on the master page instead of on the document page, you could shift the frames on the master and every page based on that master would update at the same time. But you created the frames on the document page so this isn't possible. However, since the frames are all linked, delete all pages with linked frames except for the first one in the story, fix that first page, a one full facing-page spread with the correct frames and link the frames manually, and then use AutoFlow (Shift + click the Text Flow Out control) to create all the pages with linked frames.

Regular index marks from MS Word will import correctly.

Cheers
