Linking Text Boxes with triangle problem


Recommended Posts

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong I have watched a few tutorials but it's not working for me.

When I grab the triangle the whole text box moves. I have tried both creating a new text box and also grabbing the triangle and moving it draw a new text box. As you can see from the screen shot I must be doing something wrong. I was trying to link the text in the box to a text box in the second column. Do I need to hold any buttons down ? 

Many thanks for your help,

The word ‘grab’ suggests that you’re clicking and (perhaps unintentionally!) dragging. Try just clicking instead.

Alfred thank you,

You were actually bang on with your advice. A bit of eureka moment when it worked for !

 If only one person mention 'just click and let go' I would have been ok. That's not a criticism in anyway, people I guess literally do it without having to think about it (that's a good place to be!)

Anyway, thank you so much. It is very much appreciated.
