Summary
 This macro works on a per-page basis. By creating a master page with an associated text stream, if after formatting Arbortext APP finds that the stream will not fit onto a page, it will use the master page as a template and insert additional pages until the text stream is ended.
Example (n/a)
 No example is available for this feature.

Syntax (SVNNA)
tpacopy  mode:n?  type:n? (  stream:t  )  max non-prog pages:n?
mode:n
0  Off.
1  Master page.
2  Copied page.

The name of the text stream which is associated with the master page.
type:n
0  Normal
1  Document sequences
2  Pre-format
This new parameter potentially changes previous functionality. If you previously had tpacopy 1,2 it would have set the page to 'Master' (mode 1) with a max of 2 non-progress pages. Now, it will still set the page to 'Master', but change the type to 'pre-format' (type 2). However this occurrence probability is rare.
stream:t

The name of the text stream which is associated with the master page.
max non-prog pages:n

Enter the amount of consecutive copied pages that should be allowed without making formatting progress. For example, if you have some errors in your data, and Arbortext APP is producing empty pages, Arbortext APP will stop formatting when it tries to format an empty page. With the max non-prog pages parameter, you are able to define how many pages Arbortext APP should try to paginate before proceeding. Another example of this is if you have a book where the text is on right pages only and rasters on left pages. Normally Arbortext APP stops when a page stays empty (this is the meaning of no progress). With this option set to 1, if there is no progress on a page, Arbortext APP will try to format the next page and stop only when no text can flow on the page after that.
