1.Open one or more pages in editions you want to make-up.

The pages can be empty, or they can contain full or partial page templates. If the pages are complete with templates, you will go faster.

If a page is empty, do one of the following:

•Identify and open a suitable full-page multi-article objects library and drag a full-page shape over the page. This assumes you have prepared full-page multi-article objects suitable for that page dimensions and already placed ads before hand.

•Identify and open a suitable single-article objects library and drag a shape over the page. This assumes you have prepared single-article objects before hand.

If a page contains unlinked shapes, proceed on the following steps.

2.Identify a shape you want to paginate as first.

3.Click the Editorial Navigator, and then select the LinkAssist search pane.

4.Return to the page, and then CTRL+Middle click the shape. This select the entire shape and updates the listing of articles to contain only the articles that are suitable for the selected shape. Note: see also What if the list of articles appear empty?

5.Drag an article from the list over the selected shape. The article gets linked, the page saved and the listing updated.

6.Adjust the article to fit, if needed.

7.With the next shape, perform the steps #2 through #6, until all the shapes are linked,

How it works?

Fred will display the list of articles (if any) whose body can closely fit the selected shape, and whose images are compatible with the number of images in the shape (this is subject to the current filter - see Link Assistant Preferences).

For example, here we have a page that belongs to the News section, with already placed templates. On the left side of the following screenshot you see the list of unlinked articles in the default folder of the News section, whose measurement (body characters) and number of attached images makes them candidates for the selected shape:
