User manual

Tokens can refer to information in the Project Info dialog, including for the whole project or
each ow individually. Tokens can also refer to the current time and date or the time and date
the project was last saved.
NOTE
● You can only use text tokens in text frames. You cannot use tokens in staff/system text
objects.
● Flow tokens refer to the nearest ow below the top edge of their text frame and on the same
page. When the top edge of a text frame containing a ow token is in line with or above the
top staff line of the
rst staff in a system, it then refers to that ow.
You can specify the ow number to which you want ow tokens to refer, such as
{@ow2title@}. This always shows the specied ow, regardless of the token’s position.
You can see the ow number of each ow in the Flows panel in Setup mode.
●
You can access all the available tokens from the context menu when the cursor is inside a
text frame. In the context menu, tokens are organized into submenus.
