> I'm afraid you've misunderstood Jeremy (and maybe the nature/role of master pages?). You can't connect a master page frame to a body page frame. Master pages are the _templates_ from which your body pages are created.
>
> The first page of your chapter apparently contains two disconnected text flows. Using Tori's suggestion, you've changed the order in which FM scans those flows. Jeremy was suggesting a more fundamental solution: don't use two separate flows. Connect the text frames so that pressing Enter at the end of the chapter title creates a new paragraph in the main ("body text") frame below it.
>
> The help and manual contain information about text flows and connecting/disconnecting them. But probably the simplest way to do this in your situation is to recreate the main ("body text") frame on the First master page.
>
> First, delete the main ("body text") frame. Next, make sure the text frame for the chapter title has Autoconnect turned on and its flow tag is A. Then, recreate the main text frame. In the Add New Text Frame dialog, select Template for Body Page Text Frame and set Flow Tag to A. FM informs you that the new text frame has been connected to the end of flow A.
>
> Now, pages that use the First master page will have only one text flow instead of two.
>
> NOTE: This assumes that you didn't just add the chapter title text frame to the body page instead of the master page. If you did that, you'll have to reapply the First master page to fix it.
