Linking text boxes in Word
How can I link text boxes (auto flow) in Microsoft Word?
I'm setting up a template in Word and would like to link text boxes. I'm used to doing this in Quark and wonder if this is possible in word. Please help. Does anyone know of any other useful tips/websites which help with the setting up of Word templates. Thanx |

Linking text boxes in Word
Draw two or more text boxes. With the cursor in the first box, you
should see the Text Box toolbar (if not, click View Toolbars Textbox). The first button on the bar is the Create Text Box Link button. Click it; the cursor changes to a pitcher. Move the cursor to the second text box, where it cleverly changes to a tilted pitcher. Click there to "pour" the text into it. You can repeat this -- I believe the limit is 32 linked boxes. -- 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.
