Something like InDesign's Copy Editor (Beta) in Publisher?

Is there something like InDesign's Copy Editor (Beta) in Publisher?

Affinity Publisher doesn't offer a story or copy editor. It's a somewhat frequently-requested feature.

Thanks for the reply.  Basically, when text substantially overruns on a page, I would like a way to see and edit the text that has overrun.  InD's copy editor allowed one to do that.  Is there any way to do that in Publisher (without creating an additional blank page and letting it run onto that)?

If it's a relatively small amount of text, you can click the Eye icon beside the Text Flow Out control near the bottom-right corner of the text frame. That will show the text on the current page as if the text frame was extended down to the bottom of the page. This is a very useful feature because you can even edit the overset text to make it fit.

This will only be sufficient if you don't have pages of overset text.

Thanks. Yes, I am aware of that eye icon - the problem is that I have too much overset text, and it doesn't all fit. So I'm in need of another solution.
