You covered this briefly in Seattle, and I wanted to figure this out when I got back, so I was glad to see this video posted. My question for you, is, if we have two different pages, with the same layout but contain different headings, if moved around in the document, will the text still flow properly? If that is confusing I can try to explain mor.
Can you send me a sample of what you mean? Are the pages using the same master or different ones? Send screenshots—or better yet, the InDesign files—to erica@creativepro.com.
That was a great tip, a real time saver. Thanks!
I’m all about saving time! Glad it was useful…
