I read a tip that mentioned text boxes of a set size can be linked so that
text word wraps from one to the next. How is this done?

You can right-click the text box border and choose Create Text Box Link from
the context menu. Then click in the text box to which you want to link.

That worked. However, I actually wanted to link 3 text boxes and when I
right click on either border of the first two, linked boxes, I'm not getting
the Create Text Box Link choice. How do I link the first two to the third.
Or was I supposed to do something different while creating the first link?

A particular text box can only be (directly) linked to *one* text box.
However, right-clicking the "second" box (the one that is the target of the
first link) should give you the choice to link to a third one.

I finally got it to work, but it certainly wasn't as easy as the first link.
I removed content control from the second box, and I don't know if that is
what I needed to do, but suddenly the Create Text Box Link choice appeared
when r-clicking on that second box which wasn't happening before no matter
where I was pointing at that box. Now this third box is very friendly; it's
allowing me to link to a fourth if I choose without all the hassles that
second box gave me. Thanks for your time.

I'm glad you got it sorted.

For what it's worth, I can't reproduce the problem you have noticed, but
note that I only tested with a Rich Text content control.
