Break a text box link

You can break a link between any two linked text boxes that are part of a story. When you break a link in a story, you create two stories.

  1. Switch to print layout view.
  2. Select the text box that you want the text to stop flowing from.

    To do this, move the pointer over the border of the text box until the pointer becomes a four-headed arrow, and then click the border.

  3. On the Text Box toolbar, click Break Forward Link Button image.

Note  The text stops flowing at the last text box before the broken link. Any subsequent series of linked text boxes will be empty.
