Summary

When text doesn't fit within a single text frame the case in almost any multipage publication you need to link (or thread, in InDesign lingo) the text frames . You can do this manually, threading one text frame to the next , or you can have InDesign automatically add pages containing threaded text frames. After frames are threaded, you can still reflow text by breaking text threads and rerouting the threads.

In addition to flowing text through the threaded frames, you can flow it through multiple columns within each frame. You can change the number of columns or their width within a frame at any time. To distinguish columns more visually, you can draw vertical lines between columns and group them with the text frames.
