Flowing text across Indesign pages
When I am flowing placed text and automatically generating new pages in Indesign CS3, is there a reason that I would want to flow into a text frame that originally existed on the master page? Or should I just create the frame on the first real page of the document? The Indesign help sort of dances around in discussing this stuff, but keeping the text frame off the master page seems sensible to me.

Anything you put on the master page/s can be duplicated on any other page of a document. If you don’t need it for this purpose, there is no reason to put material there. This is pretty much how it works in all page-layout programs.

If the text is supposed to be in a text frame of the same size and location on each document page (e.g. as in a novel), you’ll want to have the frames your flowing it into based on that master. But you don’t put the text in the frame on the master page itself, of course, unless you want the same text on every page.
