plate for a catalog, you might thread several small text frames for item de-
scriptions, and then flow the text later.
1. Using the Selection tool ( ), duplicate the text frame containing the jump line on
page 2. (To duplicate an object, select it and choose Edit > Copy.)
2. Paste the jump line text frame on page 3. Drag the text frame so that it touches the
top of the text frame in the first column.
3. Using the Type tool ( ), change the words in the text frame from “Bikes contin-
ued on” to “Bikes continued from.”
4. Select the page number, 3, in the jump line.
At this point, you need to replace the Next Page Number character with the Previ-
ous Page Number character.
5. Choose Type > Insert Special Character > Markers > Previous Page Number.
The jump line now reads “Bikes continued from 2.”
