Flowing overset text into
new text columns
You can flow text when all the
text wont fit in a text object.
An indicator tells you when an
object has overset text. If you
select a text object and drag a
handle to reduce its size so all
the text does not fit, the over-
set indicator appears.
Click the flow symbol (A) to
change the pointer to a text
flow pointer (B). You can click
or drag the pointer to create a
new column for the overset
text.
To flow text into a column with
the same margins as the origi-
nal column, click the text flow
pointer where you want the
upper-left corner of the new
column to appear. To flow text
into a column with different
margins than the original col-
umn, drag the text flow point-
er to specify the column width.
You can flow text between as
many columns as you want.
Resizing a text column can
result in overset text
If you click the flow symbol (A),
the text flow pointer (B)
appears
Clicking with the flow pointer
creates a new column the same
size as the original, and flows
the overset text into it.
A plus sign replaces the
overset sign on the first
column, indicating that text
flows to another column.
