Newsletter from PageMaker to Word X

[Lee]

I am trying to do newsletters in Word X after a decade of doing them
in PageMaker. Laying out columns seems difficult via text boxes. Is
there an easy way? How do you make text flow from one text box to
another? Is there a good resourse to assist me? --Lee

Hi Lee,

You need to link the text boxes. In Word, it's called creating a "story".

Briefly, you need to create a text box, type in it and then create another
empty text box. If, when you create a text box the Text Box toolbar does
not appear, go to View Menu> Toolbars and select it. Click on the Link
symbol and then into the first text box. The text should now flow to the
second, empty text box.

You'll find a lot of information about linked text boxes and newspaper
columns in the Word Help.

Hope this helps.
