Create document for book

[Ten rozdział nie został jeszcze przetłumaczony.]

If you can't await importing your text into the document and start treating it: Just a little moment, please. You have got a two pages document with two empty text frames now and you probably feel that we have proceeded very structured so far, but nothing happened at all until now.

We would like to prepare things in order to let the text flow automatically from one text frame to another, when it is imported later. This is no big deal but you have to do with it.

Select the left text frame and do a [Ctrl]-click on the piping knob at the left frame border. You will see a context menu then, where you can only select one menu item. Please click on the menu item Automatic piping from previous page.

Now do a [Ctrl]-click on the piping knob at the right frame border of the same text frame. Switch on the menu item Automatic piping to next page accordingly.

Please repeat these steps for the text frame in the right document page now.

You have now adjusted that not only the two text frames are linked with each other, but they will also be linked with other text frames automatically when you add more pages with text frames prepared like these to your document. So let's do it right now.

Select the Page inspector and choose the action menu item Dodaj nowe strony or click on the [+] button in the Page inspector. You will then see the dialog Insert pages. Take a moment to become familiar with the parameters of this dialog.

Assume your book will grow up to about 128 pages. So please change the number of new pages to 128, which should be inserted behind page 2 of course. Leave all other parameters unchanged. But switch on the check box Use layout (from pages: 1 – 2). This is a magical switch. In a few seconds, you will see why.

After you have closed the dialog with [OK], 128 new pages are added to the document immediately. You will not only find the desired text frames in all new pages at their proper position, but all text frames of the whole document are already linked, frame to frame, page to page. Almost perfect conditions for importing the text into your document now. Do you agree?
