Heya All,

Just wondering if there is a way to set FreehandMX up so that it can flow text to the appropriate signatures / pages within a book layout so that when the signatures are bound, the pages flow correctly (like Quark Can.)

I know, I know... But I really can't stand Quark

Well. I figured out my own solution...
Pagination can be achieved manually / automatically by creating a master page for different kinds of pages.
Therefore, for main body pages, create a master page that contains text blocks appropriate for all of your text, then copy/paste your text into the first text block, then consecutively creating appropriate linkage from one page to the next.

However, this method does NOT take into consideration the text flow for signatures that have more than a one page fold ( lets say a signature that is of 5 pages stacked and folded into each other... this changes the page layout of your document.)

If anyone knows of some kind of pagination software... I would GREATLY appreciate it
