You want to add text to page 2 and or page 3. Am I correct? Take the Alice in Wonderland (or what ever that was) and then add in some notes or new dialogue.
Just do it, you don't need to add a blank page. Just put the text caret in the text on page 3 (or page 2) and start typing.
I was using the example of the 5 page document to keep it simple for support.
In a real case, I would have a 280 page book. I then need to add 12 more pages after page 18. I need the text to flow from page 18 to page 31. I can't do this with at the moment by just adding a single page, and I don't just want to start typing to make blank pages.
In Indesign, you just add pages and all pages flow and is connected, whether text frames are added to Master Pages or not. But I just can't seem to do this in Publisher.
Hoping someone will see this and provide some guidance. Thanks for your time though. -

Don't write then link, the text will be at the end of the linked text. Link then Write the text.
When I link, the blank page 3 disappears and goes to the end of the document and is replaced by the link text on page 4.
If you can and have time, please make take a screen video doing it. Sorry to trouble and I understand if this is not possible for you. -

You are not linking the text frames on the Master Page, about eight seconds in.
I did link just after in the video. Even if I link it from the beginning the result is the same.

Click on the triangle on the lower right of the Page 2 text frame and then click on/in the text frame on Page 3. You may need to link from page three to page four.
I did try this and failing. What am I doing wrong? I have attached a video.

You will need Text Frames made with the Frame Text tool on each page and on new pages. Easiest way to do this is to use Text Frames on a Master Page and apply that Master Page to your Actual Pages before any text is added to the document.
When adding a new page you can apply a Master page to that new page during the creation or after the fact, during is better.
Make sure to link the text frames if you are using Facing Pages. That way text will flow from page one to two to three...
Thanks for making time to reply @Old Bruce. I have followed your advice up to the last point. How do I link the text frame from Page 2 to the blank page 3 and so it flows to page 4 etc.

Let's say I have document with text with Page 1 to 5.
I then want to to add a new page after Page 2, creating a new blank page 3.
In Indesign, when this the above is actioned, I can type from Page 2 and it will flow into Page 3 and flow into Page 4 etc.
When adding the page to Affinity Publisher though, Page 2 is linked to Page 4, and Page 3 is independent.
How I make all pages flow into each other the way Indesign does it.

Thanks for your help everyone. The more I use Publisher, the more I realise it's limitations. I bought Publisher to do Book Layouts for my clients and myself.
I moved them manually as it was 250 pages. I will set up text frame in Master Pages next time to see if that helps.
I love the community here. Thanks every one!

When I change the margins of the master pages of the entire document, my text does remains in the same position and does not sit within the margins.
How do I resolve this issue?
-
When I add in a blank page/s, the margins of my document are offset.
Any idea how to resolve this? What am I doing wrong? I don't seem to have this issue with Indesign.

Hi Twolane, Thanks for reaching out.
I will be adding in more masters pages later. I was just stuck at this stage and only started with the layout.
I usually only have 2-3 master pages in Indesign. Thanks for the tip! I guess there is a learning curve here for me coming from Indesign, which is a little more intuitive.
Perhaps there are some bugs here, perhaps I just need to learn more.

You were correct Walt.
It had something to do with "combination of your widows and orphans settings, and your keep together settings."
I unticked those boxes and it worked. I find that odd, as I would have thought that turning those ON would prevent what was happening to me.
Thanks for reaching out and supporting!

Hi Walt, Thanks for replying. I really appreciate it.
I am attaching a sample file, if you are able to have a look for me?

I am trying to do the layout of a book. I easily do this in Indesign without any problem.
However, I am noticing that in Affinity Publisher, there is a blank line at the end of page on some pages, but not on others.
I have attached a video that shows you what I am talking about here. You will see some pages have text that fill the page, but some pages leave an extra line space at the bottom.
I have tried to press delete or fn delete to backspace, but that is of no help. The software just skips the last line and places the text on a new page. I do not know what the extra line is.
How do I fix this?

Is it possible to turn this box into a circle?

Thanks for the video. I appreciate your time taken. I do know how to add pages though, but I need to add text. Say I have a 100 pages document and I need to add 12 blank pages after page 6 that has text frames from the Master (I can do all of this), and I need the text to flow from page 5 to page to page 19 and the rest of the doc (I can't do this).
Been messing with text frames linking and nothing works.
