Question about InDesign CS3 and links between threaded text frames
Subject:Question about InDesign CS3 and links between threaded text frames From:"John Posada" <jposada99 -at- gmail -dot- com> To:"List, Techwriter" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Mon, 19 Jan 2009 18:58:21 -0500
Hi, guys...I'm making some progress with picking up the basics of ID.
I have what may seem like a normal question, though it might be tough
to implement.
I'm doing a newsletter and I've threaded several frames that are
dispersed from page to page over three pages. As a the content fills
up the first frame, it spills to the second frame, then the third. It
took me about 15 minutes get the knack of this.
Now, what I want to do is at the end of the first frame, include a
hyperlinked link "<title> continued on page X" the the top of the
secind frame and at the top of the second frame "<title> continued
from page X". I want that reference to stay at the bottom and top of
the frames regardless of what point the text spills back and forth.
Is this possible? I assume it is. If it is, can you just give me a
hint of the approach and I'll figure out the rest.
Thanks
