Content flow

To enable content to flow, for example from one page to another, sections must be configured in stories linked to Story frames.

The size of the Story frames determines the space that is available for content. If content does not fit into a Story frame, the following applies by default:

•	Texts, exposed stories and content in groups automatically flows to the next linked Story frame, see Example 7.

•	Images that are larger than the Story frame are not displayed in the output.

Example 7

A text flowing in columns

In this example, the Story with the section is linked to two Story frames. The Story frames are configured as two columns on the page. If the text from Composition Center does not fit in the first Story frame, it automatically flows to the next Story frame.

 

The Composition Center user can change this default behavior using the flow control properties in Composition Center.

Sections configured in text objects

If a section is configured in a StoryTeller text object, content added to the section cannot flow to another page or story frame.

The size of the StoryTeller text object determines the space available for content. If content does not fit into the StoryTeller text object, the following applies:

•	Images that are larger than the text box are not displayed in the output.

•	Texts, exposed stories and content in groups are truncated in the output. To not include content that do not fit, select the None value for the Emergency mode setting in StoryTeller.
