Controlling overflowing frame text
Fitting story text precisely into text frames is part of the art of laying out
websites. If there's too much story text to fit in your text frame, WebPlus
stores it in an overflow area hidden from view (but not lost!) at the
bottom of the frame.
The Text overflow button displays under the overflowing frame to
indicate this hidden text, so it's important to ensure the text is made to
display again, otherwise your story will remain truncated.
To do this, several options are open to you:
• Physically resize your text frame if you have space.
• Consider rewriting your story, making it more concise!
• Resize your text, as described below.
