Forcing new text to the next frame

Previous topic - Next topic

In preparing a newsletter, I have circumstances where I would like to add new test but need it to go to the next frame in the chain even though it could partially fit in the current one.

Is there a SMART way to do it - not brute force?

Thanks

hi elliott,

how do you define "brute force"?

is a "frame break" (insert > spaces and breaks) ok?

Frame break, do you mean page break?

That is pushing the text into the next frame?

If so how do you do that?

Use:

INSERT-> SPACES & BREAKS->FRAME BREAK (or COLUMN BREAK)

The choice depends on  which you want to jump to (next FRAME or next COLUMN)

just to be clear, your situation as I interpret it is: 

  • You have multiple text frames that are linked.
  • The content flows from frame to frame.
  • You have a paragraph that is split across two frames and you want to force the entire paragraph to one frame or the other?

If this is the case I can think of two options(BEWARE reflow during editing):
1. as suggested already: Use a frame break
2. adjust the frame-size so that the paragraph either is contained in one frame or reflows in it's entirety to the next frame

I'm going to make a suggestion to include a "conditional frame break" in a future revision
