Thank you a.l.e for your answer. I use the automatic frame and have no problem, when inserting at the end. I know how to link and unlink the text frames. The problem is that the frame on the following pages are not moved according to left/right page layout. See the example I uploaded on http://imagebin.ca/view/cuqIX85V.html The second last page was inserted, i linked the text frames, ok. But the last (and following) frame is off (still like it was on the right page). Suppose I have 200 pages following, do I have to go to every frame and reposition it manually? This is what I did so far, but I wondered if there is an automatic solution? Did I make myself clear? Thanks Jean-Luc P.S. Yes, I am from Switzerland, but live in Tansania. I would love to come to a meeting like the one you mentioned. Next time I am in CH I will contact you, if you don't mind.
