In-Depth Information
thread overflow text from one type object to a new or existing type object. After you cre-
ate a thread between two or more type objects, you can use the Show Text Threads com-
mand on the View menu to display the thread connection. If you no longer want to want
to thread two or more type objects, you can unthread or disconnect them. When you un-
thread type objects, the text in the type object remains in the first type object (it may still
overflow). When you disconnect type objects, the text in the type objects remains where
it is.
