<p>About connecting text boxes </p><p>When you connect text boxes, text that won't fit into the first text box flows into the next connected text box. A chain of connected text boxes, also known as a story, can span multiple pages and have numerous columns.</p><p>If you paste or insert more text into a text box than it can hold, a message is displayed that asks if you want to use autoflow. If you choose Yes, Microsoft Publisher will find an empty text box or create a new one to hold the overflow text, and automatically connect this text box to the first text box.</p><p>You manually connect text boxes by clicking the first text box to select it, and then clicking the Create Text Box Link button on the Connect Text </p><p>Boxes toolbar. The pointer changes to a pitcher , and then you click the text box you want to connect to.</p><p>Text boxes that are connected will display the Go to Next Text Box and Go to Previous Text Box buttons in the corner of each box.</p><p>You break the link between two text boxes using the Break Forward Link button on the Connect Text Boxes toolbar. </p><p>Use connected text boxes to do the following:</p><p>← Continue a story in another text box. ← Create columns of different widths. ← Move overflow text into another text box. </p><p>NOTES </p><p>← The only object to which you can link a text box is an empty text box that is not already part of a chain of connected text boxes. </p><p>← The following text boxes cannot be part of a chain of connected text boxes: headers or footers, navigation bars, inline objects, personal information text boxes, or text boxes that use Autofit.
