When two text frames are connected, the text flows from the end of the first text frame to the beginning of the second. You can connect a text frame on a master page to any other text frame on the same master page, and you can connect a text frame on a body page to any text frame on any body page. You can also connect a text frame in the middle of a flow.
When you connect two text frames, FrameMaker assigns the first text frame’s flow tag to the second frame. If the first text frame is untagged, the second frame’s tag is used. That way, all connected text frames belong to the same flow and have the same tag. If the first text frame contains overflowing text, the text flows into the second frame when you make the connection.
Select the two text frames in the order in which you want text to flow. To select the text frames, Control-click the text frames.
If the text frames are on different pages, the first frame is deselected when you select the second one, but FrameMaker keeps track of the first selection.
Choose . If the first text frame you selected isn’t on a page that’s currently visible, an alert message asks whether you want to connect to that frame.
