document with 10 pages has matching sections on five pages. If you
choose All Pages while modifying a section, Canvas will modify the
existing sections and create a new section on each of the pages with-
out a matching section.
The Apply To setting can complement your actions. If you drag the
Section tool on a left page in a Publication, but choose Right Page in
the Apply To menu, Canvas creates a section on the left page and on
the right page.
Placing text in sections
After you create a section, you can place text in the section by typing
or pasting text from the Clipboard. You can also place text using the
Place command. Canvas links the text objects in the section so that
text will flow from column to column.
If the last column in a section contains overset text, you can flow the
text to another column by clicking the overset symbol and then click-
ing in a column.
If you create sections on multiple pages, Canvas links the columns in
the first section when you place text in the section. If you want text to
flow to another section, you can click the overset text indicator in the
last column in a section, and then click in the first column in another
section to flow text from one section to the other.
Placing text using the Place command
You can use the Place command to place text from a text file into a
section.
