Manual

BUILT FOR REAL DOCUMENTS

Control what gets linked—and know the result before it happens.

Choose the exact frames, define their reading order and inspect the document before creating a new text story.

TARGET THE RIGHT FRAMES — Use scope, layer, object style, paragraph style and size tolerance to define exactly what should be linked.
SHAPE THE RESULT — Control reading order, paragraph separators, existing chains and reusable named presets.
INSPECT BEFORE LINKING — Review existing chains, unthreaded frames, overset stories, locked content and current settings.
ONE CLICK. ONE STORY — Lite connects selected frames or an entire document in automatic top-to-bottom order.

Control what gets linked — and in what order.

Merge Text Frames Pro is control over what gets linked — not only a top-to-bottom merge.

01

Scope — Selection or the whole document; page or page range.

02

Filter — Narrow by layer, style or size so the wrong frames stay out.

03

Analyze — Inspect chains, overset and locked frames before linking.

04

Order — Top-to-bottom or left-to-right, with separators if needed.

05

Presets — Save a setup you reuse.

06

Undo — The complete operation is one Undo.
