Adobe InDesign - Inserting file


Expert: Glen Demers - 11/3/2009

Question
I have two questions:
1) When creating a new file, and placing the text box in the two Master A pages and linking them from page to page, how do I get a large amount of pages into the file that are so linked (book, say about 400 pages), nothing I have tried has worked.
2) When inserting a text file into the open pages (above), sometimes a word, paragraph, or an entire page or more comes in red. I know there is a way to highlight the red and click on something to return the text to black, but I can't find it.
Thanks for all your great help in the past.

Del

Answer
Hi Del,

Hold down the shift key when you go to place your text and InDesign will autoflow the text by adding pages and text frames until the end of the text.

With your text tool, select the red text and go to the swatches palette. The fill icon should have a red T in it. Select the black color swatch.

Hope this helps,
