Linking text frames DTP-style
Hi,
I'm trying to link two text frames in Word 2007 so that text flows automatically from one to another. Can this be done? I can't figure it out. Any help and advice gratefully received. Thanks Karl |

Linking text frames DTP-style
After creating two text boxes, select the first one and click the Create
Text Box Link button on the Text Box toolbar. The mouse pointer changes to a measuring cup. When it is over the second text box, it will tip over to "pour." Click on the second text box to complete the link. -- Suzanne S.

Linking text frames DTP-style
Of course, while the function is the same, Word 2007 has to have a
different way to get there. :-( When you select the first text box, the Ribbon will display the Text Box Tools. In the Text group at the left end, click the Create Link button. That gives you the same measuring-cup cursor, which you click in the second box. As an alternative, you can right-click the edge of the first text box, and then the Create Text Box Link item on the shortcut menu. (That also worked in Word 2003.) -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
