[softwarelist] Re: Linking pages

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


Only if the frame is an autolinked one.


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.


Odd behaviour.


Autolink seems to be what I am looking for.
On the master pages, select the link tool. An auto linked frame should have an arrow back into itself - and if it does not you can create such a link. If you create an auto link OP will ask for confirmation and if you select an auto link and press delete it will again ask for confirmation. 


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?
I wouldn't think so, but when you click on the icon bar icon you're create a new copy of the default document (something which you create and save from the file menu), when you click on 'new' you're creating a document from scratch. 

So all this may come down to you've created an unusual default document.
