Uber-Flexible Layouts for Shifty Content

Content has a habit of misbehaving: headlines grow, images change, stories run long, and carefully arranged pages suddenly need more room. Learn how to create layouts that can roll with the chaos instead of demanding constant rescue.

Tony Harmer will show you how to build smarter, more adaptable documents that respond gracefully when content shifts. The result: pages that stretch, reflow, resize, and stay on speaking terms with the designer.

What you’ll learn:

  • Create adaptable page structures with Parent Pages and Primary Text Frames
  • Control text flow with threading, auto-sizing, and flexible frame options
  • Build reusable layout components with object styles and Flex Layout
  • Keep repeated text and graphics synchronized with linked content
  • Manage alternate content with variables and conditional text
