Sorry I wasn't very clear was I - I hav a document which has one frame 
on a master page so a new document brngs up a normal page with just 
the one master frame on it. When this is full of text I thought it 
should automatically create a new page for the text to flow onto but 
it doesn't. If I 'add a page' then another page appears with just the 
master frame on it again but I cannot get the text to flow from page 1 
to page 2 even though when the linking tool is turned on an arrow is 
shown between the two master frames.

Autolink seems to be what I am looking for.


I have just experimented and if I click <select> on the iconbar icon 
then it does as I described ie doesn't create a new page and flow 
automatically but if I click <menu> and select 'new' then it does work 
as expected.

Is this the normal action?
