Chapter 6: Text And Typography
Resizing a text column can
result in overset text
If you click the flow symbol,
the text flow pointer appears
Clicking with the flow pointer
creates a new column the
same size as the original, and
flows the overset text into it.
A plus sign replaces the
overset sign on the first
column, indicating that text
flows to another column.
Flowing text from column to column
Create text flows so that text runs from one text object to another. You can flow text to a new text
object when the text won’t all fit in an existing text object; the term “overset text” is used to refer to
the text that doesn’t fit in a text object or column.
You can also link empty text objects to create a preset text flow when you create templates for page
layouts.
Flowing overset text to a new object
If you reduce the size of a text object, or change the text formatting, and all the text no longer fits in
the text object, you can create another text object to hold the overset text. Doing this creates a link
between the first and second text object, as shown in “Flowing overset text into new text columns,”
above.
