Tutorial: Adding a new frame/Making text flow between two frames
Now we will add a new text frame to our document for our first article.
Step 14: Begin by selecting
->
from the menubar.
The pointer has changed to cross-hairs. You can draw
your new text box with this cursor. Start by placing the pointer at one
corner. Click and hold the left mouse
button. Drag the mouse diagonally. An outline will appear which
represents your new text frame. When you have a text frame of
reasonable size, release the left mouse
button.
It is not important if your text box does not resemble
the example for the purposes of this tutorial.
When you release the left
mouse button, a new dialog box appears.
This dialog box lists all the current frame sets and has a radio button to create a
new frame set (default value). By selecting the default value, you will
create a new frame set (text will not flow from any other frame into this
frame)
.
Notice that the default name for this frameset is
Text Frameset 3
Step 15: For the purposes of this tutorial, the default value of
Create a new frameset
is good. Simply select
OK
.
Now you can see your new frame has been created. It is called
Text Frameset 3
Now we are going to create another small frame right next to this one.
Step 16: Select
->
.
Again using the crosshair pointer, draw another small frame near the first one.
A dialog box will appear.
Step 17: Select
Text Frameset 3
by clicking with the left mouse button.
Step 18: Select
OK
.
What you have just done, is connect this new textframe, to the last frame you created.
To test this:
Step 19: Click once inside the leftmost frame with the left mouse button.
Step 20: Begin typing. You will need to type quite a bit, but
keep typing. When you run out of space in the text frame, you will see
your new text is moved immediately into your new text frame.
