Let an article continue onto the next page.

Lay out a newsletter article or a report that runs beyond one text frame. Link the frames so the story continues through the columns and pages you choose.

Keep a story together as you edit.

When the copy gets longer, linked frames give it a place to continue. Inspect the text flow and any overset content as the layout changes.

Questions about this task.

Does the story remain editable?

Yes. Edit the text in the layout and review how it composes through the linked frames.

Will text wrap exactly as it does in another app?

Text composition can differ between applications. Check line breaks, fonts and overset text when opening or exchanging a layout.
