2 Drag to create a new frame, or select a different text frame. InDesign threads the frame
into the series of linked frames containing the story.

Adding frame inside a thread (top) and result (bottom)
To disconnect a frame from a thread:
1 Using the selection tool, select one or more frames (Shift-click to select
multiple objects).
2 Choose Edit > Cut.
The frame disappears, and any text contained in it flows to the next frame in the story.
When you cut the last frame in a story, the text is stored as overset text in the
previous frame.
3 If you want to use the disconnected frame elsewhere in your document, go to the page
where you want the disconnected text to appear and choose Edit > Paste.
The pasted frame or frames include a copy of any text they originally contained, but the
frames are no longer threaded to the original story.
Although the frame or frames were removed with a copy of the text, no text is removed
from the original story. When you cut and paste a series of threaded text frames at once,
the pasted frames maintain their connection to each other, but lose connection to any
other frames in the original story.
Adding text to frames
Add text to a document by typing or by pasting or placing text from a word-processing
application. If your word-processing application supports drag-and-drop, you can also
drag text into InDesign frames. For large blocks of text, the Place command is an efficient,
versatile way to add text to your document. InDesign supports a variety of word-
processing, spreadsheet, and text file formats (see
page 109).
You can place or paste text without first creating a text frame; InDesign will create one for
you automatically.
Typing text
To type text in a document, first create a text frame, or place the insertion point in an
existing text frame.
