HOW TO USE ADOBE PAGEMAKER 7.0: Manual Text Flow

Placing a story into more than one text block, column, or page is called flowing (or threading) text. Text can be flowed manually (by the user, one block at a time) or automatically (by PageMaker).

1. Click the Pointer button on the Tools palette.

2. Click the text
   block. . . .

The windowshade tabs will appear. When you place a file that is too long to fit in the page or column, a red arrow will appear on the bottom windowshade tab.

3. Click the red arrow. . . .

The Pointer will turn into the Place cursor.

4. Move the Place cursor to where you want your text block to go and click your mouse button to place the text.

5. You will see plus signs (+) at the top and bottom of the text boxes to indicate that the text boxes are threaded together.
