Is it possible to distribute text on multiple layout?

I'm not quite sure what you mean.
But you can only work on one layout page at a time so I am thinking the answer is no.

Hi, thanks for the answer.
Just to be clearer.
I have a long text and I I'd like to place on a layout and I'd like it distributes on multiple page automatically (like the schedules).

No only schedules can be spit among multiple layouts automatically.

Is it like a legend or list of symbols sort of thing, or just plain text?

A list of codes. A sort of keynotes list.
It is made by a text.

Are the codes referencing codes in the drawing?

You could save and place the text on your drawings as objects and then make a schedule of these objects with some clever rule set (special layer, good naming rule for the objects, pen usage, etc etc).

If there is no direct link to anything in the drawing, I would just use a spreadsheet or text editor and take it out of ArchiCAD to software better suited for laying out text along multiple pages.

Thanks. I thought to create an object for that and use schedules. It is the easiest way.
