If you make planners or printable then perhaps you want to include those small monthly calendars in your layouts.
In this tutorial I show you how you can set up a master file in Affinity Publisher that will allow you to make a new set of mini calendars each year in about 15 minutes.
Template set-up can be done in 20-30 minutes, depending on your comfort level with Publisher. Make edits to create different calendars. Once you have this file made, new calendars are easy-peasy.

I used to do this manually but you have showed me a great technique. Lol You're amazing 🤩 Thanks so much

Excellent - thank you. I use Lightroom to produce CD-Case calendars every year and it's always a pain finding suitable calendars to use with these. Now I can really customise the design to suit my images rather than "making do" with what I can find!

Bullets and Numbering (under paragraph) also work to generate the numbers fast. Great idea with the master though. Thank you.

Excellent tutorial! Thank you! I have the entire suite of Affinity tools and I love them! I used to use Adobe Illustrator which I loved, but it was just too costly! I actually bought Affinity Publisher because I made my very first calendar and planner with it. Relatively steep learning curve without folks like you! Would you happen to know if Affinity Publisher has a "plug in" or "script" for calendar and planner creation like Adobe InDesign does? I have to admit, I saw it and was pretty darn impressed! Thank you for this, I am a new subscriber, thank you, thank you!!

I had not seen that InDesign script until you mentioned it. I had seen tutorials on using data merge in InDesign for planners, and Publisher added Data Merge a little while back. It is on my to-do list to play around with the data merge. I am not aware that Publisher has any abilities to use scripts but that might be a good question for the folks at Affinity. The suite is still relatively young compared to Adobe, and they keep adding features.

@@printablesacademy the data merge function in Publisher works like a charm for this. I actually prefer the merge feature in Publisher over the InDesign merge because you have more options for source file types and format
