When I got retired, I looked for an alternative – with little hope. And then forget Adobe, it's no more for you!! I used to be a professional in the field and used Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign without discuting the price, because they were – and will remain – the absolute reference.īut then comes the time when you are no more a professional. Now, concerning your question, well, if you are a professional in the field, keep using InDesign! Adobe is a sound reference, and since you get payed for your work, no problem with the expensive subscription system Adobe has forced us to adopt. It's not so complicated as long as you don't rearrange your pages!) But I repeat: keep quiet, stop the rat race and find a another way to get your foot-/endnotes □ Hi, LastChance and Mike! I understand you. It's the "not knowing" that make my buttocks clench □ My own book will follow this and will probably be two volumes, 800pp again liberally illustrated, so this isn't a light undertaking.ĭon't get me wrong - I am impressed (stunned!) by what Publisher can offer for £50 and would quite happily pay double that for the features planned. although Publisher will soon allow the importing of InDesign files, the same cannot be said for the reverse. ![]() So I need to commit one way or the other quite soon, e.g. I am plodding away quite happily with Affinity Publisher & Photo for the small magazines I'm committed to, but once the next book project kicks in then we are talking of at least six months development to get it print-ready (it's about 400pp and liberally illustrated). So should I throw money at the Adobe solution (expensive and their support sucks - unlike Serif, I would like to point out), which means committing to a minimum monthly fee of £20, or £50 per month for the full Creative Cloud "experience". My point is that I publish books and certain projects are nearing completion. If you need footnotes now, then what do you think you need to use? Of course, I realize that these numbers in the text are not dynamic, but I think it's better than having to insert them all. Unfortunately, the in-text numbers lose their superscript style, so that has to be added, but at least the numbers don't have to be inserted. (I haven't tried footnotes, but I imagine they'll work as well.) Using html, the endnotes at the bottom of the essay can also be copied, with numbers intact. All of the numbers in the text are preserved and copied. Then, I pull the html file up in my browser and simply copy and paste the text. In my word processor (I use Libre Office Writer and also TextMaker (part of SoftMaker Office) I save the essay as an html file. However, I've found a decent workaround to preserve the endnote / footnote numbers: But also of course, the footnote / endnote numbers are lost completely. Copying essays from a word processor has been a pain, because things like italics are lost (using "paste as plain text"), unless you want to hassle with having to change all of the styles after pasting the content. I'm actually using endnotes, created in a word processor. I've read many of the comments about footnotes, and of course I agree. I'm VERY grateful that Affinity Publisher is finally out, and has a future. ![]() Why don't you try this procedure yourself and write me if they were successful.I've just moved from PagePlus to Affinity, for a new book I'm working on. You can fix this by automatically numbering the endnotes.įinally, the individual pages must be linked together and the Affinity Publisher document must be checked for consistency according to the stylesheet and adjusted. The numbering of the endnotes is lost during import. Therefore, I delete the endnotes in Affinity Publisher and copy-paste them from the MS Word document to the right place in the Affinity Publisher layout. When looking at the endnotes in Affinity Publisher, I notice that some of the endnotes are not combined into a complete block. ![]() Now select the text in the Affinity Publisher working document and paste it into your prepared Affinity Publisher publication layout. If you find the font size of the endnote numbers too small, you can make them larger in the MS Word document and repeat the process. the endnote numbers now appear in proportionally smaller font size. The endnote numbers are present and will not be deleted, as would be the case when importing an MS Word document directly into Affinity Publisher.ģ. then save the MS Word document as PDF and open it with Affinity Publisher. Ideally you use Seal in the endnotes with a corresponding bibliography in the appendix.Ģ. in MS-Word, format the text with the endnotes according to your stylesheet (format templates). To do this, proceed as follows: Affinity Publisher Hack: MS Word import endnotesġ. However, there is an Affinity Publisher hack Endnotes, with the current version ( Affinity Publisher 1.10.1) to create texts with endnotes.
