HI @hendy_5450 , I think to get Smart Text Reflow to work there has to be threaded Primary Text Frames on both pages of the spread—you only have the single Primary Frame on the left page of the spread.

 

If you really want to avoid manually threading the left page text frames, you could thread to a small text frame on the right page. Something like this (maybe someone has a better solution).

Now if I paste all of the text into the Primary Fame on page 4, I get this:

Also, before pasting the tex make sure you select all the pages and Allow Shuffle...:
