I have a screen capture that is about 8 1/2 wide x 60 inches long. It is saved as a JPEG. I am wondering of there is a way I can manually "flow" a JPEG from one page to another, the way one would flow text. Ideally, the goal is to wind up with 6 pages that are each 11 inches long.
Thnks much.
Yeh that's going to be a bit tougher because the image is massive.
And when you split the image you only split in 2 not 6.
If you want 2 that's fine.
So with 2 - you'd then fit the image to the frame to the width.
You need to CUT the image - and then select the Text Tool - place your cursor in a Text Frame as if you're going to Type then use Paste.
This puts the image in a text frame which makes it an anchored object and flows with the text.
You'll then need to make sure both images are

Thanks much, I will give it a try.

Sorry, but I'm having trouble. I was able to access and run the script you mentioned but was not able to flow the image (it is text grabed from a screen using screen capture so it comes in as a JPEG). I've attached a video of how far I got. It may be worth noting that this "image" is likely to fill about 25 pages.

Place the picture first into one frame, then run the script.

You'll then need to make sure both images are the same scale. And then manually adjust the the position of the graphics within the frame to align them to the top and bottom.
But to get the image to flow between text frames - the text frames need to be Threaded - and the images have to be anchored so they move like text does.

Placed pictures don't flow. Only text flows. You did not fit the graphic to the frame in the beginning of your mp4 example. Your whole approach to this is strange why you want to do this at all. Can you illuminate?
