- Textboxes can be linked to each other so text flows from one to

How does one bring this about, you Jezebel, you? 
It might help if you actually read Word help on text boxes.
- Textboxes can be formatted in more sophisticated ways. A frame is

A border is a different concept and is essentially a decorative outline.
Both text boxes and frames can be used with or without borders.
