I want to have two text boxes on the same page in landscape mode.

example:

Mary, Mary had a lamb and everyway that Mary went
it's feet were white as snow The lamb was sure to go

Sorry about the nursery rhythm, but I hope this shows what I want to achieve.

Why use text boxes? Why not just use columns? If you need text boxes, you
need to link them.

Create the two text boxes. Right-click the edge of the first. Select 'Create
textbox link'. Click the second.
 
Hi Dennis,

Draw both text boxes on the page. (After you draw the first one, click
outside it so the cursor is in regular text, then draw the second
box.)

With the cursor placed in the first box again, click the leftmost
button on the Text Box toolbar (it shows a chain link, with the
tooltip Create Text Box Link). The cursor changes into a pitcher.
Click in the second box.

Now start typing in the first box, and any overflow will go into the
second box automatically.

It's feet weren't as white as snow. It's FLEECE was.

(Sorry - but how white can an animal's feet be if it spends all day in a
pasture?)
 
Thanks to you all, my problem solved.

Sorry about the "feet/Fleece". You are right there feet do get a bit messy.

also.
