Introduction

This is what we'll do in this episode: placing long text with autoflow, so InDesign automatically adds pages and frames until the text is complete. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe InDesign series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Linking frames one by one is still acceptable for short articles. For long text like a book or report, we use autoflow. Create an A51 page document with facing pages.

Step 1: Document and Text

Press Ctrl and select the long text formatted as Dock. The cursor changes to a loaded text cursor.

Step 2: Three Cursor Modes

The loaded cursor has three modes. A regular click creates one frame. Hold Alt for semi-autoflow, the cursor remains loaded after each frame. Hold Shift for autof, the cursor icon changes to a curved arrow. Hold Shift and click in the top-left corner of Marine page 1.

Step 3: Shift-click for Autoflow

InDesign creates a text frame the size of Marine. Then it continues to add new, connected frames until all the text is accommodated. The number of pages increases automatically according to the text length, all using uprend.

Step 4: Check the Pages Panel

Double-click the last page to ensure the text ends there without an overset marker.

Step 5: Smart Text Reflow

Smart Text Reflow is edited, preference, type adds or removes pages automatically when text increases or decreases. This feature is useful when the writer is still revising the text. Reduce the view to see the entire spread.

Step 6: Multi-page View

All pages contain text frames that follow Marine neatly. The next step is to style the title and content of the text.

Done!

Done! We've used the loaded text cursor in three modes, flowed long text with shift-click autoflow, checked new pages in the Pages panel, and learned about Smart Text Reflow. In the next episode, we will set up columns and insert text frames with the text frame options. Thank you for watching! Thank you for watching! See you in the next episode!
