Bruce.Dickson Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 in May 2022, with 9,000 people online at the moment, likely most of them looking for support info, why is there no entry at all yet for NO RESULTS FOR "text frames" linking and un-linking? If you know a good VIDEO about how to wrangle the diagonal link lines when they they need tweaking, PLEASE POST. If you can MAKE a VIDEO about how to wrangle the diagonal link lines when they skip blank pages unaccountably, please do. Here is the text answer on https://affinity.help/publisher/en-US.lproj/index.html# Before reading it, consider: was there ever a better piece of information which would benefit from SHOW not TELL? There are two basic ways to set up a linked sequence of frames: You can link a sequence of empty frames, then import the text. You can import the text into a single frame, then create and link additional frames into which the text automatically flows. When a text frame is selected, the frame includes a triangular Text Flow button at the bottom right of the text frame (red or blue). Irrespective of whether the frame text is overflowing, you can click this to draw out another text frame linked to the originating text frame. Unlinked frame Linked overflowing text To link the selected frame to an existing unlinked frame: Click the frame's triangular Text Flow button when you see the cursor change (Unlink text frame). Click anywhere on the frame to be linked to. A connecting line links the two text frames. If you click on a frame's Text Flow button, and then change your mind about linking or unlinking, press the to cancel. To link multiple existing frames quickly, hold the , click the first frame's Text Flow button and then click anywhere on other frames in the desired sequence. As long as you hold throughout, you won't need to click the Text Flow button on each additional frame. To link the selected frame to a newly drawn frame: As above, but instead of clicking a 'target' frame, drag across the page (to create a frame sized to your requirements). This is ideal for quickly mapping out linked frames across different pages. To remove a text frame from the frame sequence: From the Tools panel, select the Move Tool. Select the text frame, then press the . The previous and next frames will maintain frame linkage. Body text remains with the "old" frames. For example, if you delete the second frame of a three-frame sequence, the body text remains in the first and third frames, which are now linked into a two-frame story. Linked frame To unlink a text frame from the frame sequence: From the Tools panel, select the Move Tool. Select the text frame to be unlinked, then click the 'previous' and/or 'next' Text Flow buttons (top left or bottom right, respectively). Click within the frame when the unlink cursor (Unlink test frame) appears. Quote

Bruce.Dickson Posted May 3, 2022 Author Posted May 3, 2022 Thanks. That video at minute 10:00 has a good demo of flowing 80 pages of text into 80 frames with shift click on red triangle. Quote
