How do you insert pages into a flow?

Question

I need to insert pages into the middle of a document that has continuous text flow between pages.

Each of the new pages has one text frame. I have connected those two pages together. But I can find no way to connect preceding pages to the input of the first new page’s frame, and the output of the last new page’s frame to the input of the subsequent page.

Any attempt to link the frames with the input or output handles creates a new text frame on the clicked-on page. I found that to connect the two new pages I had to Shift-click each one’s text frame so they were both selected; but this is impossible with the preceding or subsequent pages.

Any insights appreciated!

The two pages in the middle need to be inserted into the flow.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up adding two more pages that were part of the thread from the beginning, adding a page break to each to push existing material off of them, then cutting and pasting the material from the non-insertable pages onto each.

You can break the thread like this: click the outport of the right-hand frame on the first spread, then move the cursor over that same frame (notice that the mouse cursor’s shape changes to a broken chain) and click. This breaks the story. Now you can thread the right-hand frame on the first spread to the left-hand page of the second spread. And the right-hand frame on the second spread to the left-hand page of the third spread.
