walt.farrell Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Recipe: Create a new document with 3 Facing pages and a Master. On the Master, draw a Text Frame on the left page, filling the page from border to border. Click the linking icon, and draw another identical one on the right page. Switch to page 1, right-click, and Insert Filler Text. (Sample document below was saved at this point.) Shift+Click on the linking icon to flow the Filler Text onto pages 2 and 3.

Andreas CH Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Ich kann das mit dem Dokument von Walt nachvollziehen. Hier ein ähnliches Beispiel (ohne Fülltext und unterschiedlich grossen Rahmen): Erstelle ein neues Dokument mit 3 gegenüberliegenden Seiten und einem Master. Zeichne auf dem Master einen Textrahmen auf der linken Seite und einen Textrahmen auf der rechten Seite (die grösse und Position des Rahmens spielt keine Rolle). Verknüpfe die beiden Textrahmen. Wechsle zu Seite 1 und aktiviere den Textrahmen (Fülltext nicht nötig). Shift+Klicke auf das Verknüpfungssymbol. In 1.9.2.1035 funktioniert Schritt 5. In 1.10.0.1098 stürzt Publisher ab. I can follow this with Walt's document. Here is a similar example (without filler text and different sized frames): Create a new document with 3 facing pages and a master. Draw on the master a text frame on the left side and a text frame on the right side (the size and position of the frame does not matter). Link the two text frames. Switch to page 1 and activate the text frame (fill text is not necessary). Shift+click on the linking icon. In 1.9.2.1035 step 4 works. In 1.10.0.1098 Publisher crashes. walt.farrell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMan Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I can't reproduce it [Publisher Beta 1.10.0.1098] because I find that I cannot Shift + Click on the linking icon on page 1. If I try that, nothing happens. I can only link frames by simply clicking on the link icon on page 1 and then move cursor to the next text frame [on page 2]. If I link fame on page 1 to frame on page 2 first and then insert filler text in frame on page 1, then all three frames [pages 1, 2 and 3] all fill without any crash. A further point. i) If text frames are put onto the Master pages and linked, there is no automatic link made between a right hand page and the following left hand page. Thus there is no link between page 1 and page 2 which is why I have to manually link page 1 to page 2 and ii) if you insert another page after an odd numbered (right hand page), there is no link between that odd numbered and the next page but I find that by inserting the missing link by clicking on the linking icon on the right hand page and selecting the following text frame (on the next left hand page), then the text flow works . autoflow text frames.afpub Acer Aspire E51 AMD Radeon E1-7010 processor with AMD Radeon R2 Graphics, Windows 10 Home Version 20H2, 12GB RAM.

walt.farrell Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Thanks. No, you wouldn't have the same flow on Master Pages. But my screenshots were of the document pages, and the topic is about flowing text on document pages. I guess I'm a bit confused why you're looking at the Master Page and wanting to view multiples that same way. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a document configured to have Facing Pages, then you can have a Master Page that is a 2-page spread. On that 2-page Master Page, draw a Text Frame on the left page, then click the linking triangle on the lower right edge of the frame, and then draw a Text Frame on the right page. The 2 Text Frames are now linked, and text will flow between them, or when the Master is applied to document pages. Text will also flow from a right-hand page to the left-hand frame on the next document page. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
