Operation Manual

Working with Text 111
When frames are created by the AutoFlow option (for example when
importing text), they are automatically linked in sequence.
To create a link or reorder the links between existing frames, you can use the
Link button under the frame (or the controls on the Frame context toolbar).
Remember to watch the cursor, which changes to indicate these operations.
• You can link to frames already containing text or are already in a link
sequence.
• If the frame was not part of a link sequence, its text is merged into the
selected text's story.
• Different frame sequences can be combined, creating unified story
text.
To link the selected frame to an existing frame:
• Click the frame's Link button (showing or .)
• Click with the Textflow cursor on the frame to be linked to.
To link the selected frame to a newly drawn frame:
• As above, but instead of clicking a "target" frame, either click on the
page (for a default frame) or drag across the page (to create a frame
sized to your requirements). The latter is ideal for quickly mapping out
linked frames across different pages.
To unlink the selected frame from the sequence:
• Click on , then click with the Textflow cursor on the same frame.
Story text remains with the "old" frames. For example, if you detach the second
frame of a three-frame sequence, the story text remains in the first and third
frames, which are now linked into a two-frame story. The detached frame is
always empty.
