TextMaker allows you to run text across multiple interlinked text frames, similar to a DTP program. If two frames are linked, text that exceeds the limits of the first frame is automatically continued in the second frame.
Let's assume that you have created two text frames on one page and that you want the text to flow from the first to the second frame. You would link these frames as follows:
| 1. | Click on the View | Object mode button  to enable object mode. |
| 2. | Choose the command Link text frames  on the contextual ribbon tab Object | group Inner text (or via the context menu by right-clicking on the text frame). |
| 3. | First click on the text frame in which you want the text to begin. Pay attention to how the two hooks on the mouse cursor change: It is only when the hooks connect that you have selected the text frame correctly. |
| 4. | Then click on the text frame to be linked. Important: This text frame must be empty! Also pay attention to the two hooks here. |
| 5. | Click on the View | Object mode button again to exit object mode. |
If you now insert text into the first frame, it will continue in the second frame as soon as it no longer fits into the first frame.
You can also link more than two frames together. To do so, link the first frame to the second frame, then the second to the third, etc.
Removing the link between frames
To remove an existing link, choose the command Link text frames again in object mode and then click on the first of the two linked frames. TextMaker will then ask you if you want to remove the link.
Alternatively, use the context menu (right-click on the frame that was linked first) to choose the command Unlink text frames.
Tip: To locate linked text frames more easily, right-click on one of the text frames to use the commands Next text frame or Previous text frame in the context menu.
