Breaking a forward link

[Charley Kyd]

In Publisher 2002 I have a long doc with several logical sections. Rather
than having the text flow through the entire doc I'd like to break the link
between each section. That way a change in an early section won't change the
text flow in later sections.

My problem is that when I choose Break Forward Link all text is removed from
the text boxes that follow. Instead of staying where it was, the following
pages of text all overflow into the text box where I broke the link.

How can I break the link while leaving the following pages of text
undisturbed?

Thanks.

You cannot break the link and leave the text in place.

You will have to copy and paste the text forward from where you want the
break, then delete the text you have highlighted, break the link and then
paste the text back in you have on the clipboard.

I was afraid someone would tell me that.

Publisher reminds me of a horse we had when I was a teenager. It would turn
to the left but refused to turn right. To turn right, you had to turn 270
degrees to the left. That horse would take you anywhere you wanted to go, as
long as you adapted to his quirks.

We finally sold him for dog food.

Not fair, and you are rather unkind because of your lack of expertise to
train the horse.
You would make great target practice for those wishing to get rid of their
frustrations in Iraq.

It is easy enough to do in Publisher if you are well versed with Publisher.

I had a pony that behaved the same way. The reason was he came from the
carnival's pony rides. The minute you got on him, he would start walking
slowly in a counter-clockwise circle! But we broke him of the habit, and he
finally died of old age.

Turning right on that horse by turning 270 degrees to the left is roughly
equivalent to the "solution" that was offered for my original question about
Publisher. In both cases one must take the long way around to do something
that should be very simple to do.

Charley,

The program works exactly as it is programmed to do. Imagine a chain
with electricity flowing through it. You can hold the opposite end and
feel the current. But, if you cut a link out part of the way down the
chain, the current doesn't go any further.
