Threading
text
• Text in PageMaker is part of a Story and each story has to be placed
into a Text Block or Text Frame. When you have a story that cannot fit
onto one page, you will have to Thread the story over several pages,
or break it up into smaller stories.
• Breaking the story up into several stories can limit your ability to make
changes to the story later on:
If used properly Threading can save you a lot of time because you
have fewer stories to deal with.
Normally, text that you edit as a unit should be contained in a single
story. When you edit one article in a newsletter, for example, you
don't want other, unrelated articles to change.
Note: When adding, removing or formatting text that has been
Threaded, all the changes you make will effect how the rest of the
story flows. You may have to take a look at all the threaded stories to
make sure they are still flowing the way you want them to, so that
nothing is missing.
