Creating automated story jumps
In some types of documents, such as magazines or newspapers, you might have a story that jumps to another page later in the document. In order to make it easy for the reader to continue, they will often have a bit of text under a frame saying Continued on page x. The problem with manually adding directions for these story jumps is they can quickly get out of synchronization with the content. For example, the instructions say Continued on Page 23 but the story has moved to page 25 because somebody added a double-page spread to the document somewhere between the two parts of the story.
In this recipe, we will look at how to create story jumps with numbering that updates automatically when the different parts of the story move to a different page.
