[comp.sys.mac] PageMaker Auto Flow Question

I've sent this question on to Aldus but don't know if they'll
answer, let alone how fast.

I'm trying to set up a nametag template in which the format
and logo on the nametag are in PageMaker and the names and
titles are in two files (which I have in WriteNow).

In my template, I have the logo on the master page and
on page one I created text blocks which flow one into
the next, i.e., the first name flows into the second,
into the third, etc. and the first title flows into
the second etc. similarly. I have text flow set to
automatic.

However, when I place my file of names as the whole story,
instead of text flowing and creating many pages, it only
flows through the last name text block on page one.

Does anyone know whether PageMaker (this is version 3.01)
can be cajoled into flowing into such restricted text blocks
as opposed to into whole pages or columns? It occurs to me
that I could put in blank graphics on the master page to
at least keep text out of the nonprinting areas. I'll try
that but don't see it is a very satisfactory solution.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
