RebeccasPianoKeys Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hi, I've created a document in Affinity Publisher on Windows. Within each chapter of the document, the text frames are all connected from one page to the next. If I break the links between the text frames, all the text bounces back to the first page of the chapter (in the invisible "doesn't fit in the text box" space) and the remaining text boxes on the other pages of the chapter become empty. Is there a way I can set it so that when I break the links between the text frames, the text stays where it is on it's appropriate page, instead of all disappearing back to the first page? Thanks for any help! Rebecca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, no. That's just the way it works, for now. Maybe it will be improved someday. But it shouldn't disappear back to the first page; just to the page where you broke the link. And to get it back onto the other pages, just relink the one that overflowed to the next one you want it to start in. With the Frame Text Tool, click the red linking triangle on the lower right of the frame with the overflow text, then click the text frame you want it to flow into.

RebeccasPianoKeys Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 Ok thanks. I'll make it work with a whole bunch of tedious copy-pasting then. Just didn't want to dive into that task without first checking if there was an easier way. And yes, you're right, it only goes back to the most recent frame where I broke the link. The issue is that I want to delete some pages here and there throughout the document, and all the text and images etc that are on them, without it affecting the layout and text that is on the pages I'm not deleting. So I can't just rearrange the links. I need to make each page a stand-alone page so I can delete the pages I no longer want. Thanks for your help!
