When you create a text column on the Pages Layer, all the text you enter into that column will remain contained within it, even if the column is not big enough to display all of it. You can draw another column on the same or on a different page to accept the overflow text from the first column, however you are responsible for linking the two columns before the text can flow from one to the other.
| When a text column is selected, you'll see a gray flow handle outside its lower right edge. Click on the flow handle and drag the mouse. A black bar will follow the pointer as you move it. Drag the mouse over another column and release it to set up a link between the two columns. Any text that doesn't fit in the first column will flow into the next.

| The flow handle changes to show the state of the column:
 Empty Flow Handle
all text fits in column; column not linked
 Overflow Handle
some text doesn't fit in column; column not linked
 Linked Flow Handle
column is linked

| In some documents you may find it easiest to place and link all your text columns manually at the Pages Layer. With Master Layer text columns, however, PasteUp gives you several ways of controlling text flow automatically from column to column and from page to page.

|
| Select a column and use Format Text Unlink Column to break its outgoing link. Any overflow text returns to the column. The text flow can be redirected by dragging from the flow handle to a new column.
