You can create columns by threading individual text frames or by dividing
text frames into columns using the General tab of the Text Frame Options
dialog box (Object menu). Some designers prefer separate text frames for
more layout flexibility.
In this exercise, you will flow the feature article text into the two columns at the bottom of
the right-facing page. First, you will select a Word file to import into the existing text frame
in the first column. Second, you will thread the first text frame to the second text frame.
Finally, you will create new text frames on the third page of the document to contain more
of the text.
1. Choose View > Fit Spread In Window to locate the two text frames at the bottom
of the right-facing page. Zoom in as necessary to view these text frames.
2. Using the Type tool ( ), click in the text frame at the left immediately below the
woman's hand.
3. Choose File > Place.
4. Locate and select 05_Long_Biking_Feature_JanFeb2014.docx, in the Lesson05
folder.
5. Check Replace Selected Item at the bottom of the Place dialog box, and then click
Open.
The text flows into the existing frame in the left column. Notice that the text frame
includes an out port in the lower-right corner. The red plus sign (+) indicates that
some of the text you imported is overset, meaning that not all of the text fits into
the existing text frame. You will now flow the additional text into another text
frame in the second column.
