Linking two textboxes
It can be done but it's a bit cumbersome. I posted this the other month. Let
me know if/how it works for you. "Start with a newletter template. Delete out everything except for the newsletter title on page 1. Change the format and the text to whatever you want. You can copy and paste that text box as many times as you need, adding pages as needed. Whenever you change the text in any one of those boxes, the rest will change to match. Everything seems to be coded into that one text box and I'm not the right person to figure out the coding into this. Add in the rest of your text/graphics but the "newsletter title" text boxes have to be separate text boxes. You can group them with other objects to lock in place and it doesn't seem to affect the synchronization. I haven't played with this a lot so there may be other caveats. Copying a newsletter title text box into a new blank document and then inserting a duplicate page seems to maintain the link. At least it does on the test page I just made.

Linking two textboxes
Hi, and thank you so much for the quick respond
 This didn't quite solve my problem. I want, in the same document, several textboxes linked two and two together. Meaning two textboxes with one text and two other textboxes with an other text. Any suggestions?? JoAnn Paules skrev: It can be done but it's a bit cumbersome. I posted this the other month. Let me know if/how it works for you. "Start with a newletter template.

There is no good way to synchronize text boxes in Publisher, only workarounds as
JoAnn pointed out. I use the Personal Information (Business Information in 2007) as a workaround if I need to have many text boxes synchronized. You can update this information on the fly. It isn't too time consuming to simply copy/paste text from one box to another. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Agnar Løbakk" wrote in message ...

Copy and paste is definitely the easiest way.
