Based on Page Layout

The location of the items on the page determines the reading order.

If Based On Page Layout is selected, InDesign determines the reading order of page objects by scanning left to right and
top to bottom. In some instances, especially in complex, multicolumn documents, the design elements may not appear
in the desired reading order. Use Dreamweaver to rearrange and format the contents.

(Asian versions only) If Based On Page Layout is selected, InDesign determines the reading order of page objects
according to the document’s binding (left to right or right to left). In some instances, especially in complex,
multicolumn documents, the exported design elements may not appear in the desired reading order. Use Dreamweaver
to rearrange and format the contents.
