Working with Text 83<br />

It's always a good idea to preview your HTML frames (via Preview in<br />

Window or via your browser)—especially if Overflow is selected.<br />

How a story flows through a sequence of Creative<br />

frames<br />

Stories cannot flow between HTML frames, as they do not support<br />

linking (text can only overflow a single frame).<br />

You can have just one Creative frame on its own, or you can have many frames.<br />

Frames can be connected in linked sequences so that the story associated with a<br />

given frame sequence flows through the first frame on to the next and keeps<br />

flowing into frames in the link sequence.<br />

A key difference from a word processor is that <strong>WebPlus</strong> does not normally add<br />

or remove frames according to the amount of text. The text simply flows until<br />

the text runs out (and some frames are left empty), or the frames run out (and<br />

some text is left over).<br />

• If the text runs out before the last frame, you'll have some empty<br />

frames. These frames will be filled with text if you add more text to<br />

the story, or if you increase the size of the story text.<br />

• If there is still more text to go after filling the last frame, <strong>WebPlus</strong><br />

stores it in an invisible overflow area, remembering that it's part of<br />

the story text. If you later add more frames or reduce the size of text in<br />

a frame, the rest of the story text is flowed in.<br />

<strong>WebPlus</strong> keeps track of multiple linked frame sequences, and lets you flow<br />

several stories in the same site. The Site Manager's Text menu item (accessed<br />

via the Tools menu) provides an overview of all stories and lets you choose<br />

which one you want to edit.<br />

On text overflow, the frame's AutoFlow button can be used to create new<br />

frames for the overflowed text. To control how the frame text is spread<br />

throughout available frames, you can use Fit Text, Enlarge Text, or Shrink<br />

Text. These options scale a story's text size.
