How to flow in 100 pages of text, for example, for a book

[Bruce.Dickson]

What I expect is the Text Frame tool, button on the lower of top two tool bars, to have an option:  "Allow text to flow and populate to all succeeding pages." 
What work-around exists to do this?  Is the only alternative to flow text into one page at a time manually?  

MAYBE I only want to flow in a whole chapter at a time.  Any way to do this?  (Each chapter may need its own section in order to populate the TOC). 

I can flow in a chapter worth of text in .TXT format one page at a time, with this recipe:

For text imported from external applications, use Paste without Format (Edit menu) for 'clean' unformatted text.

Find outport and eye crossed out.
Hold cursor over outport.
Unlinked icon (barbell) appears
Click red triangle.  
Move cursor to next frame.
New frame turn blue by itself. 
Click.
Blue frame populates with text.

Thank you, Hens, appreciate this.  Now I see a tutorial here which talk about Shift Click at minute 1:40.  Yay!

For 100 pages I would use Text Frames on a Master Page and apply that to the page I wish to start with and then on the Actual Page paste or place the 100 pages of text followed by a Shift + Click on the overflow triangle to get the automatic new pages. Be sure to link the frames on the Master Page if you are using Facing Pages.

Note: the "barbell" is in fact a representation of three linked chain links. Could be better drawn.
