3. To change the column widths and blinds (top and bottom frame
margins), click a cell in the table and enter a new value.
Hint: If the frame has more than one column, you only need to enter
top/bottom values for the first one. Then click Top and/or Bottom to
repeat the entries instantly in the cells below.
How a story flows through Creative frames
Stories cannot flow between HTML frames, as they do not support
linking (text can only overflow a single frame).
You can have just one Creative frame on its own, or you can have many
frames. Frames can be connected in linked sequences so that the story
associated with a given frame sequence flows through the first frame on to the
next and keeps flowing into frames in the link sequence.
A key difference from a word processor is that WebPlus does not normally
add or remove frames according to the amount of text. The text simply flows
until the text runs out (and some frames are left empty), or the frames run out
(and some text is left over).
If the text runs out before the last frame, you'll have some empty frames.
These frames will be filled with text if you add more text to the story, or if you
increase the size of the story text.
WebPlus keeps track of multiple linked frame sequences, and lets you flow
several stories in the same site. The
Site Manager's Text menu item (accessed
via the Tools menu) provides an overview of all stories and lets you choose
which one you want to edit.
AutoFlow
When importing text, it's a good idea to take advantage of the AutoFlow
feature, which will automatically create text frames and pages until all the text
has been imported. This way, enough frames are created to display the whole
story. Then you can gauge just how much adjustment will be needed to fit the
story to the available "real estate" in your site. You can make the major
changes first, then proceed to the fine-tuning.
