What is Smart Text Reflow?

What is Smart Text Reflow?

• A. a feature to convert text to outlines
• B. a tool to adjust font size automatically
• C. a command to delete unused frames
• D. feature that automatically adds pages and threaded text frames to contain all the text in an imported text file.

Answer: (D)

Smart Text Reflow automatically expands the document by adding pages and threading new text frames to accommodate all the text from an imported text file. When you place long text, InDesign can overflow the existing frames, and Smart Text Reflow creates the necessary pages and threaded frames so the entire text fits without manual setup. This keeps the text flowing across pages smoothly while preserving the layout structure. It’s different from converting text to outlines, which makes letters into shapes; from automatically changing font size, which adjusts typography rather than layout; or from deleting unused frames, which removes empty frames without expanding the content area.
