There are two ways to place Articles and Stories into the InDesign document:

Double-click the items row and it adds it to the place gun which can then be placed into the document. Please note Articles and Stories can add more than one item onto the place gun.

Select the box(es) in which you would like the items to go and press the place button placebuttom  in the bottom taskbar (if it is an Article), the place Story button (if it is a Story) or press Return. Any known types will be placed in the appropriate selected boxes. If there is a choice of box for the text types or more than one type to be placed into a box you will be given a choice to select the item to put into the box. The feature will cycle through the boxes which are selected and you have the option to skip or place an item. It will only ask once per box. If it is left with a single match then the item is automatically placed.

The reference objects .img link to the photo caption. The img is only added when the photo caption needs to be placed. Articles can only be placed in one extDoc, if the article is already linked to a page double-clicking will do nothing. If the article is linked to a page it will open the page in Article Mode (see later in this reference guide).
