Give the story a place on the page.

Bring your text, photographs and artwork into one layout. Set the page size, margins and columns, then arrange the content into a document people can read from beginning to end.

Publish a newsletter.

Put a long article into linked text frames, add photographs and apply consistent heading styles. Check where the story continues and whether all the copy fits.
