Change how text boxes are connected

Do one of the following:

Change where text breaks in a text box or column

  1. Place the insertion point at the beginning of the line of text that you want at the top of the box you're connecting to.
  2. Press CTRL+ENTER to insert a box break.  

Disconnect text boxes from each other

  1. Select the first box.
  2. On the Connect Boxes toolbar, click Break Forward Link Disconnect Text Box button.

    Disconnecting two connected boxes is like breaking a link in a chain. The text in the "broken-off" part of the chain is placed in the overflow area of the selected box.
