Default Text boxes, pouring into --Publisher 2007

I am copying text from Word 2007 and putting it in Publisher 2007. I have
created text boxes on the pages I want the overflow to flow into, but when I
link and pour, text boxes are created within the text box I have. These text
boxes are very wide and not very high. How can I get Publisher to pour into
the text box I want without it creating new ones?

Follow-up. This link below links to a guy who was trying to do what I do NOT
want Publisher to do. In that thread, everyone said he couldn't do it.

The other thing that is happening, is it is copying only a portion of my text
from Word to Publisher.

Copy the text into one text box, when you are queried about overflow and more
boxes, click no. All the text will be in the single text box. Now you can create
the text boxes to your specifications and manually link.

Hi. That's what I was doing, and it creates text boxes within the text box
and divides them where, in Word, there is a heading (not marked as such, just
that it's centered and the type is bigger). I am going to try your
suggestion of copying into Wordpad. Thanks.
