Connecting text boxes in a book to get flowning text

Asked by evaf in Adobe Pagemaker Publishing Software, Adobe InDesign Publishing Software

Tags: , ,

I've recieved a book of about 100 pages written with pagemaker by another person. All the text is entered as induvidual text boxes, while actually most of it is one long text so that the text boxes should be connected.

As it is now, if you enter more text into one box, you have to move all the following ones manually... I want the text to flow automatically.

There are also pictures and there is some describing text on top of some of them. This text of course should not flow but stay on top of the pictures. Also the flowing text should not flow into the picture pages. (Most of the pictures take up one whole page.)

What would be the fastest and easiest way to fix this? The text is going to be translated so obviously the amount of text in each box will change. The basic layout with the pictures should stay though.

I also could switch to another program if that would make it easier. I'm a beginner to pagemaker myself.Start Free Trial
