Text threads from the duplicated spread to other spreads are broken, but all text threads within the duplicated spread remain intact—as do all text threads on the original spread. Please follow these instructions to upgrade InDesign to the most recent version. Check out this article for additional information on this feature. Your feedback on how satisfied you are with this feature would be greatly appreciated.Thanks, Harshika
