You can insert text from other software program like MS-Word in the PageMaker documents.
1. Choose File > Place. The Place dialog box will appear.
2. Locate the document that contains the text you want to place and select it.
3. Click on Open in the Place dialog box. The pointer changes to the loaded text icon ( )
4. Make a text block to place the text. (Or) Click in the page to place the text.
The text will be placed in the page. If the text to be placed is too big to fit on one page, PageMaker allows you to place it on several pages. This can be done manually or automatically
Manual text flow:
1. Position the loaded text icon at a comer of the area where you want to place text, hold down the mouse button, and drag to define the text block. Release the mouse button.
2. Text flows into the defined area. If there is more text than fits in the text block you defined, a red triangle appears in the bottom windowshade handle.
3. Click once on this and the loaded text icon reappears. Now generate a new text block and # click. Repeat this process until there is no more text to place.
