Importing and flowing text
In most publishing workflows, writers and editors use word processors. When the text is
almost final, they send the files to graphic designers. To complete the postcard, you will
import a Microsoft Word file into a text frame at the bottom of the page using the Place
command. You will then link the first text frame to the other two frames using a process
called “threading.”
