Mofab Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The text marquee's position is a little unpredictable when arrowing up/down to next/previous text frame. I.e. it wont keep it's horizontal position on the row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuptin Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'm struggling with linked text frames, too. I'm experimenting with a book Ive already published on InDesign. Do I have to link each of the frames separately to the preceding one, all 300-400 pages? In ID you can hold a combination of keys down and the text just flows through all the pages once you click the little link on the right of the first text frame. But I welcome Publisher's arrival at last. ecca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Publisher, Shift-Click should Autoflow, creating as many pages and frames as needed for the text. ecca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecca Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Excellent reply, Dave. Can't wait to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, Dave, that seems to work, thanks. I find the connecting lines rather obtrusive – if they have to be there I'd suggest a much lighter colour. It's not quite intuitive. But I get the impression that things like guide lines and so on are the sort of little touches you're still working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it should. Now the marquee jumps to either the beginning or the end of the line. (When moving from one text frame to a linked frame.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Ah, it's happening for me, now, too. Thanks for the report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
