is it possible to link two text boxes together, so the text will flow from one box to the other.

I don’t think so. why would you want them to? Why not just set the can grow property of the text box. You can define the maximum number of lines it can grow to.
right click on the text box, choose format Text. on the first tab, click the ‘Can Grow’ tick box and then specify the maximum number of rows it can grow to.

I have a text box with a photo to the right, the text box is twice as tall as the photo. I want the text to go down the side and underneath the photo. But there is no way to make the text wrapper on the photo without going over top or behind it. Is there?

You could potentially calculate the height and width of the text box and generally decide how many chars fit on the height and how many fit on the width. Then write a formula that takes the height number of characters from the main string. Then another formula that takes the width number of characters from the string. Then place these formulae in text boxes around the image accordingly.
It might work, would need some experimentation.

that is what I did, but I’m not so happy with it. The last line is very inconsistent, as to where it cuts off. So the two boxes don’t look very seamless.

Ahh ok. Thats kind of what I suspected would happen really, but I think its the only way youd get close.

yes I think you’re right, but I’m still open to suggestions.
