Can't get autoflow working (copying text from LibreOffice)

[Mandoleer]

I'm copying two pages (1188 words) from LibreOffice (I don't use MS Word) into a Publisher document (. I get one frame on one page with a little red thingy at the right hand side. I've read Help, and other info, and I've pressed Shift and clicked it. All I get is a slight lengthening of the text box with the text becoming invisible a short way below the page. I've tried doing it with Alt and click, and even Shift-Alt and click. I'm doing this on Win 10 with the latest update of Publisher (yesterday). I know there's invisible text because I lengthened the text box and slid it over the page below. After copying and pasting five times... Bringing text in from contributors is essential. Why does it seem to be so hard to do in Publisher, when it was so easy in PP (and, in my case PageMaker before that...)? Or am I not doing it right? Publisher Help is not the easiest manual I've come across,especially without an index. But having an index that can be browsed through is a bit old fashioned now, I suppose.

It's just the same with a piece of text from a PP X9 document, BTW.

Shift+Click on the red linking triangle works fine for me. It duplicates the page as many times as needed, using the same Masters if any are applied.

The size of the text frame should not change. If it is changing, I wonder if instead of clicking you are slightly dragging. If you can record a screen video we might be able to see more. Or if you can share the .afpub document in its current state, we could play with it.

Sorted, ta muchly. What was making the frame elongate (slightly) was the red eye outside the frame. It turns into a sort of flying saucer banking steeply when the frame extends. It distracts one's attention from the tiny triangle which is the important thing. Maybe it's just me (quite possible - I am an awkward sod), but I think that triangle could do with enlarging. (I'm not the most awkward sod around - what I'm importing is an article by someone who wants it publishing as he created it. In a mix of Calibri Bold and Times Roman in the heading, and Helvetica for the text with the first page paragraphs starting with a space, but flush on p2. Our house font is Calibri, and we don't normally do centering by eye or the underlining of titles, and normally use justified text. I'm wondering if he will notice that his Helvetica will actually be Arial or Liberation Sans - as I don't have Helvetica on this machine and am not proposing to get it (over the road may have it on her Mac). They're both the same as Helvetica in area occupied. I've given him sample pages his way and our neat and clean Calibri house style. He prefers his. He can have it...) Again, thanks. I wish all support forums were as quick and to the point as this one.
