Turning OFF Message Boxes

[Selahgal]

I am using Publisher [2007] for a project that involves pasting text
from other documents. Sometimes [oddly enough, it doesn't happen every
time!] when I paste [right click, paste], a message box will popup which
states "The inserted text doesn't fit in this box. Do you want to use
autoflow? To have Publisher automatically flow text throughout your
publication, ask for confirmation before it flows into existing boxes,
click Yes. To connect boxes yourself, click No. For information on
connecting boxes, press F1."

Each time this appears, I click NO. I've checked everything I know of
including F1 to try and STOP these annoying popup messages from
appearing! It's very tiring and cumbersome when I'm working on my
project to continually deal with these boxes all day.

Can someone tell me how to turn them OFF?????

You cannot turn this warning off. Create a text box first, if it is large
enough, you will not get the message. If you think there will be overflow,
create two boxes and link them in advance.

I am posting the text inside a large text box which is the size of the
entire page. I am basically editing the text, cutting and pasting,
etc. Is the message box appearing because my text box is too small?

Since I can't turn the message box OFF, is there a way other than what
you suggested, to AVOID making the message box appear? What if I make
the text box as big as possible before pasting then return it to 'page'
size when I'm done?

Thanks for your help by the way.

Make sure your cursor is active in the text box, otherwise Publisher will create
a text box with the pasted text and give you the message.
