guesthollow Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 I have a bunch of linked text boxes where the text flows from one to the other. Now that I have my layout of graphics, etc. set, I don't want to mess anything up when it's time to make edits to the text. How can I delink the text so that it will no longer flow through the sequence of boxes without changing it on each page? I'm attaching a screenshot to show how the text needs to stay lined up with the images and such when I make edits. If I edit anything too much, I will have to change the graphics on hundreds of pages as it will totally mess up the alignment because the text on the pages will reflow. I hope I'm making sense! Thanks for any help and suggestions! Quote

Have you considered Pinning the Graphics to the appropriate spot in the text, so if the text does move the graphics just move with it?

Ahhhh well that would work, I'm sure. 🙂 How does one pin the graphics to the text? Quote
