Doug Chaplin Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I'm not sure if I'm simply missing a way to do this that's there, or if this is a feature request. For longer documents one great feature of InDesign is the ability to place a text file and have ID create as many pages as needed to accommodate the text. Can this be done in Publisher, or is it on the feature road-map? It's certainly a feature I'd like if I'm to seriously consider switching (which my bank account would love me to do!)

Can this be done in Publisher Hi @Doug Chaplin, this is possible. A simple example: Create a new document with one page and add a text frame to it. With the text frame active select 'File > Place...' and navigate to the location of the file to import. Click on the file and 'Open'. This will import (= place) the document into the text frame. Look for the red text overflow triangle in the right bottom half of the text frame's border. Shift + click on it > this will create the amount of pages and text frames to accomodate the imported text. I hope this helps. d.

Fixx Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Still, the old way of using a mod key when clicking a text file to a page is so clean and powerful... :-) Doug Chaplin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
