Threading text
To
thread
, or continue, text from one object to the next, you have to link the objects. Linked
type objects can be of any shape; however, the text must be entered in an object or along a
path, not as point type (by simply clicking to create text).
Next, you will thread text from one type object to another by linking the type objects to-
gether.

Choose View > Smart Guides to turn them off so that you can more easily move
objects without snapping.
Note
It may be difficult to click the out port because of the guides. You can al-
ways zoom in, remembering to zoom out again for the next steps.
2.
With the Selection tool ( ), click the out port (larger box) in the lower-right corner
of the type object that has the red plus sign in it (

loaded text icon (
