Pagination provides control over how your online publication will take shape. By default, Dispatch remembers your previous and historic pagination, so you won't need to adjust a thing. However, should you chose to do so, the following are a few of the options available:
- Change the sequence of stories as they are displayed on a table of contents, or as "suggested links" generated by Dispatch tags, using the numbered dropdown list on the left.
- Adjust the order of pages within a section or the entire issue. (This is particularly useful for linear "page forward" or "page back" designs.)
- Move an article into a different section, using the dropdown list on the right which contains the names of the sections you have created.
- Incorporate interstitial pages (pages threaded between articles within an issue). Interstitial pages are commonly used as table of contents and sponsor pages.
TIP: After reordering the stories in a section, you may click the "Apply" icon located beneath each section and Dispatch will redraw the current page with the new order in place.
Pagination also allows you to view or edit the content of a story, view any associated images, or change the defaults for a particular column.
- To view a story, use the hyperlink which contains the name of the column, such as Feature or Letters. To view an image associated with a particular story, use the hyperlinked numbers. Both the story and any images will pop up in a small new browser window. You may close this window when you are finished looking at the story or image.
- To edit the contents of a story, click on the hyperlinked [edit]. Dispatch will move you into an editing screen. When you finish any editing and press the "Update" icon, you will be returned to the Pagination screen.
If your publication contains more then 40 stories, Pagination will be displayed on several screens in succession, according to the sections you have defined.
