Hello,
I have a question but I don't know how to do it.
I wish I can get an answer here.
I made the master page which has 2 text frame box.
I want to write down text into another text frame with structured xml way.
Is there any way to do it?

You can also insert a single paragraph in the first text frame and in the second paragraph set Page Break to start in a new column.


Due to the usual issue with PageBreak (that it works by doing an easily fragile override) … is that even an option in Structured?

 

Meanwhile, I had a project the weekend that required a layout of this type; pages with two connected text frames. I used Paragraph Format attribute Top-of-Column to put the lower frame content in the lower frames. Worked like charm.

I won't be much help with any Structured considerations, but anyone with insights may need to know a bit more about the page layout:

So the Master Page has two Text Frames.
Are these both Flow A?
Are they Autoconnected to each other?

Normally text is first inserted in the lead frame, and automatically flows to the next, when the first is filled.

Various flow control attributes, such as Top of Column, Keep Withs, Widow/Orphan, Space Above/Below, can force the newer text to a new frame.

Hello, Thank you for reply, and sorry about my undetailed question.

These are Flow A and autoconnected as you think.
I know that test is first inserted in the lead frame and automatically flows to the next, when the first is filled.

But I want to know the way to do it while first text box is not filled.

Thank u for your reply again. I will check about what you said.

No sure how easy this is in Structured, buy you might use empty paragraphs to fill the top frame, or perhaps just one, with an empty anchored frame that fills the frame.
Perhaps import an SVG saying: NO CONTENT FOR THIS PAGE SECTION
