I have an InDesign document; 100 or so pages of text, no images. I'd like to resize the document from A4 to 6 in x 9 in. Or 5 x 8.

Going to File > Document Setup lets me easily change the page size, but then the text remains outside the margins and does not flow. The text is not affected.

Adjust layout doesn't work. Liquid Layout doesn't work. The Adjust Layout VB script doesn't work either.

Cut and paste into a new document didn't work because there was no autoflow of text and creation of additional pages.

Place text (from the indd file) didn't work either. All I could see was the last page of the text from the larger size file on a single page in the target file, with no way to expand the number of pages or autoflow the text.
There has to be an easier way to do this.

One possible way to accomplish this: Create a new document with your new page size and margins the way you want them.

In the New Document dialog box check the box for Primary Text Frame and a text frame is automatically placed on all pages that aligns to the margins and are linked together.

Next copy all of your text from the old document and paste into the first frame and it will reflow throughout the document.
