Populate text on every page to save time\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A function of Adobe InDesign is a red plus sign at the lower right corner of a text frame that indicates \u003Cem>overset\u003C\u002Fem> (overspill) text. If working on a page with \u003Cem>overset\u003C\u002Fem> text you can thread frames together – click on the plus sign, line up a new frame and your text will flow into it. Connecting frames using \u003Cem>in\u003C\u002Fem> and \u003Cem>out ports\u003C\u002Fem> is known as threading.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"358\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F10\u002F19190632\u002Findesign-tips-tricks-4.jpg\" alt=\"A layout scheme of words in InDesign.\" class=\"wp-image-50025\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F10\u002F19190632\u002Findesign-tips-tricks-4.jpg 600w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F10\u002F19190632\u002Findesign-tips-tricks-4-450x269.jpg 450w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that’s not all.

Once you have populated text or use an \u003Cem>in\u003C\u002Fem> or \u003Cem>out port\u003C\u002Fem>, your pointer becomes a loaded text icon.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can now populate pages automatically, and avoid having to create a new frame each time you have \u003Cem>overset\u003C\u002Fem>.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-3--2-find-and-replace-for-improved-efficiency\">2.
