How to Import Text Into a PageMaker Document

You can create text for PageMaker 6.0 and 6.5 documents in a word processing application, if you're more comfortable typing in that application, and then import the text into your PageMaker document.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• PageMaker 6.5 (Mac OS)
• PageMaker 6.5 (Windows)

1. Open the PageMaker document you want to import the text into, or create a new PageMaker document.

2. Select any of the tools in the toolbar (although you may prefer to select the Text tool when importing text).

3. Go to the File menu and select Place or press Ctrl+D (Windows) or Command-D (Mac OS).

4. In the box that appears, navigate to the text file you want to import.

5. Select the file and click OK.

6. Position the Insert Text cursor (which usually looks like the upper left corner of a square with text in it, depending on the tool you selected in the toolbar) in the document where you want to insert the imported text, and click.

7. Edit, position and align the text as you want it to appear.

Tips & Warnings

• HTML files will automatically import into the document after you select the file, so make sure you're already on the page you want it on.
