Default Unlinking text boxes

Publisher will ask about four, but you don't have to insert four. Type one in
the insert page dialogue, Tell Publisher "no"... Add the other three at the end.

The functionality of linking text boxes is great. However, my problem is
slightly different and explaind below.

I am creating a brochure with several sections which are not linked. The
individual sections are
linked within themselves.

The brochure has been developed thus far with a lengthy first section of
about 13 pages. That is, one quarter of a folded duplex sheet. That
section is followed by two additional sections. There is no interlinking
between the sections. Total pages so far is 20.

The first section needs additional pages. Using the insert pages menu,
inserts 4 pages after page 13. I doubt that the entire four pages will be
needed. I don't want blank pages in the "middle" of the brochure. How do
I move the blank pages to the end, assuming there will be three? Is that
where they should go?

I have received a 43 page document that has all the pages linked, with text
autoflowing from page to page. I've tried to unlink the text boxes so that I
can insert pages and make revisions without affecting every page that
follows.

When I do unlink the text boxes at the beginning of the document I lose all
text on the following pages. Only the clipart remains. What am I missing?
I assumed that unlinking would simply take off the autoflow from page to
page?

Thanks for any help you can suggest.

Thank you. I should have been able to realise that.
