Stopping Text Flow

[Terry from Iowa]

I'm writing a book and can't figure out how to stop to stop text flow at the
end of each chapter. When I add something to Chapter 1 it pushes the text
forward in Chapter 2 and messes up my formatting. There must be a simple way
to do this. Can someone please tell me. Thanks. -Terry
PS: I've tried the "disconnect" button but then I don't see anything in
Chapter 2 and beyond.

Using the "text flow" analogy is quite helpful here - if you break the
text flow from text box 1 to text box 2, then nothing appears in text
box 2, because it can't flow out of text box 1.

The solution is to cut the entire contents of the latter text box
onwards to the clipboard, de-link the chain, and paste it back in.

Thanks for the response Ed but now I have the problem of how can I
selectively cut the 150 pages that follow Chapter 1? When I do a select all
on first page of Chapter 2 it only selects that one page. -Terry

Use Word for long documents, the text boxes won't be an issue.
Or try this:
At the end of chapter one, create a text box, link, ctrl+shift+enter will put
you to the beginning of the next text box.
