Thank you a.l.e for your answer. I use the automatic frame and have no
problem, when inserting at the end. I know how to link and unlink the
text frames. The problem is that the frame on the following pages are
not moved according to left/right page layout. See the example I uploaded on
http://imagebin.ca/view/cuqIX85V.html
The second last page was inserted, i linked the text frames, ok. But the
last (and following) frame is off (still like it was on the right page).
Suppose I have 200 pages following, do I have to go to every frame and
reposition it manually? This is what I did so far, but I wondered if
there is an automatic solution? Did I make myself clear?

Thanks
Jean-Luc

P.S. Yes, I am from Switzerland, but live in Tansania. I would love to
come to a meeting like the one you mentioned. Next time I am in CH I
will contact you, if you don't mind.
