TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Additionally, you could look at the master pages / page templates (don't remember anymore how they
are called in Quark, am InDesigner now) and check
- if there is a text frame on the master page and
- if this a document with facing pages, if both pages contain a text box and if they are linked
(use link tool as described by Chris).
Best of luck,
Jens

>> Hello,
>>
>> I am filling in for a colleague who is out on maternity leave. She uses
>> QuarkXpress 5.0 for the Macintosh to desktop publish our documents. I
>> have little experience with both Quark Express and the Mac OS and I
>> cannot figure out text flow in QuarkXpress. I am copying text from one
>> Quark document into another (our new documentation format) and when I
>> paste a large amount of text into the new document, I get a small red
>> box with an "x" which indicates that the pasted text does not fit in the
>> text frame on the page. My question is, how do I get Quark to flow the
>> text onto the next page? I tried the online help and the reference
>> guide, but no help. Can anyone help?
>>
>> Thanks,
>> Rich
