When you place text columns on the Master Layer you can link them to each other within a single page, but you can not link a Master Layer column on one page to a column on another page. Use the Auto Flow radio button on the Size & Placement Inspector to create a Master Layer text column that will automatically flow from page to page.
| You can not add text to an Auto Flow column on the Master Layer. You must edit the column on the Pages Layer and add your text to it there.

|
| Auto Flow text columns provide the only exception to the rule that you must add new pages manually in PasteUp. If you have set up Auto Flow text columns on the Master Layer in your document, then as you add text to these columns on the Pages Layer new pages will be added to the document automatically to make room for the text flow.

|
| You can have multiple Auto Flow columns on the Master Layer and they can be linked in any configuration, but they must be linked into one flow. If you have more than one auto flow, PasteUp won't know how to link across pages:

|
| If you're designing a publication with a column structure that varies from page to page, you'll want to draw columns at the Pages Layer. If your publication is highly uniform (three identical linking columns on each page, for instance), you'll want to use Auto Flow columns.
|
|
| If you create more than one auto flow on the Master Layer, you won't be able to return to the Pages Layer until you link or remove the unconnected flow.
|
|
| The page to page links of Auto Flow columns can be modified on the Pages Layer. Columns cannot be linked from page to page on the Master Layer.
