NOT WORKING Link the selected frame to a newly drawn frame

[mrrayc]

Per the Help section:

" When a text frame is selected, the frame includes a triangular Text Flow button at the bottom right of the text frame (red or blue). Irrespective of whether the frame text is overflowing, you can click this to draw out another text frame linked to the originating text frame.
To link the selected frame to a newly drawn frame: •As above, but instead of clicking a 'target' frame, either click on the page (for a default frame) or drag across the page (to create a frame sized to your requirements). The latter is ideal for quickly mapping out linked frames across different pages."
 

The option of dragging across the page does not work. When selecting the red arrow, the entire text frame moves.

It doesn't say to "click the icon and drag (it) across the page."

You click the icon. This establishes the source frame.

Then (instead of clicking on an existing target Text Frame) you either click on a page to get a default target Text Frame, or you click-and-drag on a page to create a target Text Frame of the size you want.

I found that confusing initally, too, when I tried linking Text Frames manually.
