25. The machine-implemented method set forth in claim 24 further including the machine-executable steps of: establishing a plurality of second named areas for receiving text/graphics signals of indeterminate text/graphic extent; while formatting text/graphics signals to said vertically-separate portions interleaving formatting of said received text/graphics signals to said second named areas, then continuing to format received text/graphics signals to said vertically-separate portions after interleaving formatting of text/graphics signals to one or more of said second named areas; and receiving a first one of said embedded control words for transferring all of the formatted text/graphics signals in said second named areas to a successive ones of said vertically-separate portions beginning at the last vertically-separate portion formatted previously to said received first embedded control word.

The method set forth in claim 25, further including the steps of: when establishing said second named areas specifying which page the section named areas are to be placed upon; and when placing text/graphics signals from a second named areas selecting those text/graphics signals from all of the named areas which do not have a page specifier while limiting the selection of text/graphics signals from the page specified second named areas to said specified pages whereby placement of text and graphics onto a page within a document being composed has a sequence independent of the sequence of receipt of said text/graphics signal.
