Stopping Text Flow
I'm writing a book and can't figure out how to stop to stop text flow at the
end of each chapter. When I add something to Chapter 1 it pushes the text forward in Chapter 2 and messes up my formatting. There must be a simple way to do this. Can someone please tell me. Thanks. -Terry PS: I've tried the "disconnect" button but then I don't see anything in Chapter 2 and beyond. |

Using the "text flow" analogy is quite helpful here - if you break the text flow from text box 1 to text box 2, then nothing appears in text box 2, because it can't flow out of text box 1. The solution is to cut the entire contents of the latter text box onwards to the clipboard, de-link the chain, and paste it back in. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org |

When I do a select all on first page of Chapter 2 it only selects that one page. -Terry |

Stopping Text Flow
Use Word for long documents, the text boxes won't be an issue.
Or try this: At the end of chapter one, create a text box, link, ctrl+shift+enter will put you to the beginning of the next text box. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Terry from Iowa" wrote in message ...
