Maybe a character count (with and without spaces) would be more accurate if you want to have an idea of how much space is used?įor example a count of ten words could either be: The only problem I see with a word count is that words vary so much in length. Seriously, I agree that word and character counts could sometimes be useful, but until Affinity introduces such a feature, if you really need a word count, it's easy enough to copy and paste the text into a text editor, like LibreOffice. It took about twenty seconds to find out that this post has 191 words and 1,027 characters in it. Let's face it, Affinity don't market their apps to deter professionals and attract Hobbyists. I don't expect it to have all the bells and whistles of Indesign either but when when an app of such potential ignores fundamental practices of the industry it is designed to serve (and not for any lack of prompting by industry users) you have to wonder who the developers are listening to? I know the price of the app is so much better than Indesign and for the most part it's a joy to use. A pretty normal request in publishing but I was so surprised that a dedicated publishing app didn't have a feature so fundamental to what we're using it for, I had to check the forum to see if I was missing something? There are a few paragraphs of text that need editing down to fit the new size. The idea was to recreate a previous A4 Indesign file in A5 size and in Publisher. I created a document in Publisher for the first time since ditching Indesign.
