I need to place an 100-page text document. When I go to place it, however, text is only placed on the first page, so then I have to click on the plus expander thing at the bottom of the text box and click in the next page's margin to get it flow to the next page. So, basically, I have to do the same thing 100 times to get all these pages in there. Is there a way to get PageMaker to just keep filling pages, keeping the margins the same?

Thanks,

Misty
 
Under the menu item 'Layout', therer is a choice termed 'Autoflow'. Make sure that is checked. This will ensure that once you place your text it will flow onto as many pages as it needs ***except*** it stops at the bottom of the first page/column (sort of like it's asking 'are you sure you want to autoflow?') and you only have to click once (and you get a little symbol with a wavy line instead of something that looks like several lines of text). Once you click that at the top of the second page/column, it will autoflow for the rest of the document.
