Linked stories (CS5.5)
Replicating content across various pages is no easy task; copy-pasting is error prone and time consuming. Use linked
stories to manage multiple versions of a story or text content in the same document. Linked stories make it easier to
support emerging workflows, where for example, you need to design for vertical and horizontal layouts. Linked stories
also work well for traditional print and publishing workflows, where you might need to synchronize boilerplate text
on different pages.
Linked stories behave similar to traditional links. See “ Use the Links panel ” on page 391 for an overview. You can
designate a story as the parent, and then place the same story at other places in the document as child stories. Whenever
you update the parent story, the child stories are flagged in the Links panel and you can update them to synchronize
with the parent story. You can create linked stories using regular stories or text on path stories. Anchored objects inside
stories are also supported.
Linked stories remain in sync when you update any applied styles InDesign styles.
