how to add pages automatically when placing text 1

[TYPPIET]

When I place text in a textbox in Indesign, I want it to flow to next pages automatically.
When I shift-click with the "loaded" cursor it does add pages, but will only fill the left pages of the document with text. The right pages stay empty.

Who knows how i can do this better (and prvent me from manually connect 300 textboxes).

Thanks!

I assume that you selected Master Text Frame in the new document setup window. To check this, open the pages pallette and run the cursor over the right pages to see if "A master applied" shows up. It should. It's wierd that you're not getting the right page.

You might consider saving as a copy & then open the copy and change document setup to single page from facing pages and see if the problem continues - every other page. If it doesn't you can then change the doc to facing - after all the pages are filled.

Using OSX 10.3.8 on a G4

In your Master Pages, Make sure you have your Text Frame in the Left Hand Page linking to the Text Frame on the Right Hand Page. Otherwise when you place your text it will only be in the Left Hand Side.
