The feature article for the bulletin in this tutorial flows through three text blocks
across the inside spread. You've already created a number of stand-alone text blocks. Now
you'll learn how to link text blocks together so that text flows from one to the next
automatically. Just as when you added text earlier in this tutorial, you first need to
create text blocks to house the article.
-
Press Command-1 to switch to Size
To Fit view.
-
Select the text tool in the Tools
palette.
-
Without holding down the Command
key, draw a text block that starts in the fourth grid rectangle in the fifth row on page
2, and ends in the bottom-right grid rectangle on page 2. The text block snaps to the
grid, and since you didn't hold down the Command key when you created it, the text block
tool is still selected.
-
Draw a text block on page 3-this
time from bottom to top-that starts in the bottom-left grid rectangle on page 3 and ends
in the second grid rectangle in the third row of grids .
-
Draw a second text block on page 3
that starts in the third grid rectangle in the third row and ends in the fourth grid
rectangle in the bottom row. Sahafi makes it easy to link any number of text blocks together.
When text blocks are linked in a chain, text that you add to the first one flows
automatically into the rest.
-
Select the linking tool in the
Tools palette.
-
Click once in the text block on
page 2, once in the first text block on page 3, and then double-click in the second text
block on page 3. The three text blocks are linked together. You double-click in the last
one to indicate that it is the last block in the chain.
