Hi I am new to Mysource Matrix and I am creating a site at the moment with lots of pages having the same text on every page; however I do not want to keep typing or copying the same piece of text on to every page.
I was wondering if it is possible to create a page and type in the text I want and then link the page content to every other page to be display on the right column of every page.
Basically can I do it if I was to insert pictures and if I change the picture in the main folder it would change the picture for every page?
This is what I would like to happen for my text as I may have to update it regularly and it would save me a lot of time if I didn't update every page one by one.
Yes, you can do that – in fact, Matrix was designed specifically to allow this sort of content reuse.
Just create a Bodycopy Div with the shared content and link that container to multiple pages.

Hi Thanks Avi instead of shared content i used the nest content option in the div properties and it seems to work.
However the problem I have now is that the page shows ok in Mozilla Firefox but in internet explorer, the main body of text is shifted down so now you have got a big bit of white space in the middle.
Could this be down to creating a right column of text in a new page, that is not active and then on other pages that will go live linking to that piece of text which will show in the right column of every active page.
Could this be causing the white space in the middle in Internet Explorer??
Possibly. You'd have to check the XHTML and CSS that's being generated and work out where the padding is coming from. Matrix tends to generate an abundance of <div> tags by default. You can disable those by switching the Div Properties to "Raw" presentation.
