MText: Flow between multiple text boxes?

[DaveMartin4189]

Is there a way to 'group' multiple text boxes together, so text from one can flow into another?

I often have multiple columns of text, positioned side by side... say 4 columns, 6" wide, 6-10" tall.  I'd like to have one body of text that can 'flow' between the multiple text boxes or columns.

MS Publisher has this capability.  I think it's called Grouped text there.

I'd appreciate any methods or tips.

Thanks,

Dave

You can use columns in MText, essentially it's one piece of MText that can flow from one column toi the next.  But the location of the colums is not equivalent to MS Publisher's flexibility, more columns side by side.

Did you know about the COLUMNs setting in MTEXT?

Free code in this post to help you combine them into one MTEXT, then use the COLUMNS feature in MTEXT to do what you want.
