FM 11. New additional pages are not appearing as I add content to an existing document.

Question

FM 11. New additional pages are not appearing as I add content to this existing document. [Adobe Help] states additional pages Automatically appear as content is typed in. Not happening, Based on [Adobe On-Line Help], tried "connecting text frames" and adding disconnected pages, and other efforts. The "adding new disconnected pages" did appear, howerver content remained hidden at bottom of page 18 vs. now appearing on new pages 19-22. Also some FM formating did not transfer over to new pages 19-22. Existing [Help] topics do not seem to solve. Could be, just not understand the correct solution. Is there a basic/simple (setting change?) solution in FM 11? I have not altered the master pages, catalogs, etc. (Learning FM). Any assistance is appreciated.

Was able to resolve issue. 1) Add disconnected pages, 2) Cut-paste content, 3) Connect text frames, 4) Minor formatting. Neither a proper or elegant solution. More repairs needed down the road. Thank you for your assistance and taking the time to respond.

Documents can have multiple flows of text. Each flow has a tag, and an autoconnect property. When a flow fills on a page, a new page is created only if autoconnect is enabled.

To view these properties:

Ctrl-click on the text frame to select it
Choose Graphics Object Properties
If the Text Frame tab is not already showing, display it.

I'd check not only your body pages, but also the associated master pages.

Check to see that all content is in the same Flow – sounds a bit like it’s not.
