Threading text between objectsLinking objects together lets the text thread (or continue) from one object to the next. Linked type objects can be any shape; however, they must be area type or type on a path (not point type). Each area type object contains an in port and an out port, which enable linking to other objects and creating a linked copy of the type object. When a port is empty, it means that all the text is visible and the object isn't linked. An arrow in a port indicates that the object is linked to another object. A red plus sign in an out port indicates that the object contains additional text. This remaining unseen text is called overflow text. ![]() Threading text between objects When working with text that threads among objects, you can choose to show or hide the text threads. Text threads make it easy to see how objects are linked together. To thread text between objects using in and out ports:
