Increasing text size causes text at the end of the document to be hidden

Question

Hi,I am completely new to InDesign and I guess this is a fairly simple newbie question... I have received a document which is 26 pages long. The text size is too small, and I therefore need to increase it throughout the document. But when I do so, the text at the bottom of the last page is “hidden”. I would have expected InDesign to automatically just add pages if needed (like e.g. Ms Word does), but it doesn't. If I increase the size of the text frame, I can see that the text is still there, but it does not continue to the next page. If that is not possible, I at least want to be able to manually append pages that have the same text frame dimension/position as the other pages in the document, and let the text continue there.  Given the purpose of InDesign, I know that there has to be a really simple solution to this, but more than one hour of googling has not brought me closer to a solution. Can anyone here please tell me how this can be done?

Also, enable Smart Text Reflow in Preferences > Text to allow InDesign to add and remove pages automatically.

Of course, just after posting this question, I found the answer...

If anyone wants to know: choose the selector tool on the outport on the last page and press shift before clicking anywhere on the next (empty) page. That way, InDesign will automatically add pages until it runs out of text.
