Loading the Type tool with multiple text files
In the Place dialog box, you can “load” the Type tool with multiple text files and
then place them individually. Loading the Type tool works as follows:
•
First, choose File > Place to open the Place dialog box.
•
Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) to select multiple, noncon-
tiguous files. Shift-click to select a contiguous range of files.
•
When you click Open, the loaded text icon shows in parentheses how many
files are loaded, such as (4).
•
Click to place the text files one at a time.
Flowing text manually
The process of taking an imported text file and flowing it across several connected text
frames is called threading text. InDesign lets you flow text manually for greater control,
flow text automatically to save time, and flow text while adding pages.
