Linking Floating Text Boxes
If the text you type doesn’t t in a oating text box, you can create a linked text box
so that the text ows from one text box to another. Whenever you edit or format the
text in the rst text box, the linked text box is also aected. Linked text boxes can be
positioned separate from each other in the document.
Here are ways to work with linked text boxes:
To create a oating text box, see m Adding a Floating Text Box” on page 104.
Position and resize the text box as you want, and then type text in it.
When the text box is full, a clipping indicator appears at the bottom of the text box.
This indicates that the text extends beyond the bottom of the box.
A clipping indicator shows
the text extends beyond the
text box.
Click the blue square on the
right to link to another text
box or create a new linked
text box.
A blue square on the
left indicates there are
no text boxes linked
before this one.
To link to another text box or create a linked text box, click the blue square on the m
right side of the text box, and click another text box or click somewhere on the page
(or choose Format > Text Box > Add Linked Text Box). To cancel linking, press Escape.
The new text box has a solid blue square on its left side. This indicates that this text
box is linked to a previous one.
A solid blue square on
the right indicates this
text box is linked before
another one.
A blue square indicates
this text box is the last in
this series.
A solid blue square on
the left indicates this
text box is linked to a
previous one.
To link selected text boxes, Command-click to select the text boxes you want to link, m
and then choose Format > Text Box > Link Selected Text Boxes. The text boxes are
linked in the order in which you selected them.
To break the connection between linked text boxes, choose Format > Text Box > “Break m
Connection into Text Box,” or choose Format > Text Box > “Break Connection out of
Text Box.”
