Control text frames auto-sizing through a story

Hello everybody!

I have a story, one auto-sizing (height only) text frame in each page.

I want to control text when to jump from page to page (from frame to frame). For example, it would be nice to go to next frame at paragraph return.

Any ideas?

Your description is too terse to understand. Post a picture of what you're trying to do.

 

Also: Please tell us what operating system (exactly) you're running. Please tell us (exactly) what InDesign version you're using.

I'd insert a column break or a frame break or even a page break wherever I wanted the text flow to jump to the next column, frame or page, respectivelly.

Using the page break/frame break requires manual intervention.

 

The confusion is that the poster is talking both about autosizing text frames AND about wanting to jump to the next frame, it looks like in an automated way. But I'm not sure that I understand what they really want to do.
