save linking when moving linked text boxes
how do I save linking when moving linked text boxes? I.e., i have a box on
page 1 that is linked to a box on page 3. I want to move the second box to page 4 but I want it to maintain the linking. in truth I have added 4 new pages and my cutsom pagination has changed because of the way i'm laying this out for printing. I need to move all the text boxes around.

save linking when moving linked text boxes
If the text boxes are linked, move just the text and not the boxes; gather
the text, Copy, go to the page wanted, Paste. Go back to the original page, gather the text, Cut. -- Don - Publisher 2000® Vancouver, USA "lauraparis" wrote in message ... how do I save linking when moving linked text boxes?

save linking when moving linked text boxes
Thank you, Don. The text boxes were linked but when I added pages, using two
of my own pages up for custom printing on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper so that in fact there are 4 ittle pages per Publisher "page" (maybe there is an easier way for that?) the text boxes were no longer linked properly. Page 16 was where 32 should be, etc. So I used your suggestion from another post: Saved the current .pub under another name. Added the new pages to it copying all objects on the new page (text boxes). Cleared out the text. Relinked ALL the text boxes in the new order (a little tedious but better than the alternative) Pasted the text into the first one. The job is done and I thank you!

ps
I meant that I copied the text from the original .pub and pasted it into the
new one.
