Enter Text
Choose the Text Tool from the Toolbox. Click and drag on the workspace
to create a text box. Enter or import more text than the box can hold.
(Increase the size of the box while you type in text and then reduce it
to continue with this tutorial.) Choose the Pick Tool. Note the arrow
at the bottom of the text box indicating that there is more text to place.

Create New Text Box
Choose Text Tool and create another text box to receive the extra text
from the first box we created.

Link Text Boxes
Choose the Pick Tool and click on the first text box to select. (The second
box seems to disappear, but don't worry, it is still there.) Click on
the triangle at the bottom of the first text box. Move your cursor to
where you created the second text box. Although the boundaries are invisible,
your cursor changes to a large, black arrow when you are over a text box.
Click while the large arrow is showing to link the boxes and place the
text.

Work With Linked Boxes
Notice the blue line that joins the two text boxes. You can move either
box, and the link remains. If you resize either box, the text adjusts
accordingly. Try reducing the size of the original box, and watch the
text that no longer fits. It will flow into the second box.

Delete a Linked Box
Choose the Pick Tool. Select the box you would like to delete. Press the
DELETE key on your keyboard. The text box you selected will be removed,
but the text will flow to the remaining box. Note that the text in the
remaining box in the sample now begins with the text that was in the box
we deleted.

Breaking Links
Choose the Pick Tool. You can break the link between the text areas without
deleting the text box that contains them. Select the box you would like
to remove from the link. Choose Arrange, Separate from the Main Menu.
The selected text box will be removed from the link and emptied. All the
text is now contained in the other box.
