Auto text flow across pages


Recommended Posts

  • 10 months later...

I'm resurrecting this apparently zombie thread b/c I can not for the life of me figure out how to automatically flow text from spread to spread.

I can get text to flow between text frames on facing pages. But if I have 100 pages of content I have to link each spread together (previous recto frame to following verso text frame). It looks like @Arun Sarkar figured out how to do it automatically but his video is gone. :37_disappointed:

I've tried every combination of CMD, ALT, and SHIFT I can think of.

I'm attaching a video of how this is done in InDesign in case I'm not explaining myself.

Does anyone know how to do this? I just can't imagine doing this every time I produce a book!

But with Facing Pages, and Text Frames on the Master page, it may be necessary to link the Text Frame on the left-hand Master Page with the Text Frame on the right-hand Master Page before you import the text and ask Publisher to reflow it. Otherwise you may get it reflowing on only one side.
