I needed a doc to generate pages for a small 5-hole notebook/binder. I fit 2 pages per sheet but then needed outlines for the cutting out. The outline graphic also had "dots" to mark where the 10 holes needed to be punched. Obviously to avoid two-pass printing, had to use frames and/or a background image.

It was hell. But I got it working. Long enough ago that particulars escape me. I do remember that the two little "pages" were side by side, that "newspaper columns" were used. And that adding text would properly move lines to the second little page, But NOT to the following real (8.5x11) page. Sorry don't remember if the final product used frames. (I think it did, and that's what broke line-moving).

Not asking for solutions, ...

If you do want to recreate this (or if others do so), your use of frames does not need to "break line-moving". Using *linked* frames, you can preserve the natural flow of text from frame to frame - and from a frame on one page to a frame on another. See "frames;linking" in the help text.
