creat text box link

[Guest]

When you inseret a text box, and right click, one of the option is to "create
text box link".
What is that function used for, and where and when would one use that
function?


Thanks
Yves

This is used to link two text boxes so that text in one flows to the next.

Hi Yves,

You can insert two or more text boxes, and link them together in a series.
When you enter text in the first box, if it's too long to fit in that box
then the overflow will appear in the second box. If that box fills up, the
overflow continues into the third box, and so on.

This works somewhat like the Format > Columns feature, except that the text
boxes don't have to be placed near each other -- in fact, they can be on
different pages.

You could use this for articles in a magazine or newsletter layout, where
several stories start on the same page and then continue on other pages.
