Delete a linked text box without deleting text

  1. Switch to print layout view.
  2. Select a text box that's part of a story.

    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. Press DELETE.

Note  When you delete the text box, the story text from the deleted text box flows into the remaining linked text boxes.
