Re: going with (or against) the flow

[Dan Emory <danemory@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am at a loss to understand why you can't do all of this in one flow (A): 
The sequence you describe is hardly unusual, and I cannot conceive of any 
reason to have 3 flows instead of 1 for a sequence like that.  Paragraph 
designer features, combined with sidehead columns and frames on reference 
pages can almost certainly accomplish whatever it is you're trying to 
accomplish with separate body text flows. It is almost always a mistake to 
create multiple body text flows on a master page layout, or as an override 
to a master page layout on a body page.
