Linking text boxes in Word

How can I link text boxes (auto flow) in Microsoft Word?

I'm setting up a template in Word and would like to link text boxes.
I'm used to doing this in Quark and wonder if this is possible in word.
Please help.

Does anyone know of any other useful tips/websites which help
with the setting up of Word templates. Thanx

Draw two or more text boxes. With the cursor in the first box, you
should see the Text Box toolbar (if not, click View > Toolbars >
Textbox).

The first button on the bar is the Create Text Box Link button. Click
it; the cursor changes to a pitcher. Move the cursor to the second
text box, where it cleverly changes to a tilted pitcher. Click there
to "pour" the text into it. You can repeat this -- I believe the limit
is 32 linked boxes.
