text flow problems

If the text frame from the master page has been removed from that page, just apply the master to the document page again, click the out port of the previous page and then click onto the page in question. To double-check, place the cursor in the text and select all to see if the text is all in one chain.

You should not make any text frame on the master for the text flow. Use page margins, these should be adjusted correctly and text will flow into the frame formed by the margin guides.

Exception are primary text frames, but you have to make sure that text flows into those frames. They have to align to the margins too.

Did you read my answer? I have answered these questions.

Don t quite understand "apply the master to the document page "

In the Pages pallet, you can have more than one master page. If you want to apply a master page to a document page you can do it by clicking on the fly-out triangle at the top of the pallet and choose Apply Master to Pages. You can also drag a master icon onto a document page icon or select a series of document page icons and Option-clicking on a master icon to apply the master to the document pages.

Also, what Willi is saying is that if you want continuous text from margin-to-margin covering the whole page and auto-flow, you don't need a master text frame. If you are familiar with Quark, you may have assumed that because that's how Quark works. Master frames are good if you want the same text frame on only a portion of every page.

If you mean the page in your screen shot, click the small red box in the lower right side is the text frame. That's the indicator that you have overset text (more text than the frame can hold). After you click the indicator, the cursor will

change to a loaded cursor, indicating that the nex click will place the next portion of text. If you click into the center of the text frame on page 28, that's where the story will continue.

You make still the same terrible error.

Adjust your page margins on the master as any text flows along the margin guides, not along manual set up ruler guides.

And your page number frame is overlapping the area inside the margins, that is a no-go. Page numbers have to be on the master, not on the page.

There is nothing wrong with the way you are doing it based on your screen shot. The margin guides are only visual indicators of what you want to stay within, but if your text doesn't snap to the margins and that's what you want, there's no reason to think you need to do that.

I disagree.

The margin guides help to flow text into the layout and later, when layout adjustment is activated, you can in one single step change the borders and cause a layout reflow.

Even the page number frames and the running headers frames should snapp to the margin guides to be able to be changed when layout adjustment is activated. So it is really very important to use them. Specially if you have a multipage publication.
