How do you link 2 text boxes in new pages

How do you link two text boxes in the new pages. The old one was much easier to use.

I think this is impossible! Ive been trying today and I couldnt do it. Then I opened up an old document that had text linking in it and I got a message telling me that the text boxes were now unlinked! Why would you remove that? For me this software is now useless. How on earth do I get my old version back?

Did these features disappear in the new Pages. Seems they are essential parts of any publishing program

Oh, what a useful tip! Thanks. I was wondering why that was happening. I was dropping on the Pages 09 icon in the dock to avoid this problem.
The workaround suggested in this thread is somewhat helpful, but not for those of us who layout whole magazines. We need to be able to insert full page pics, ads, etc., and have text flow right on beyond them to the next pages.
Apple apparently have never laid out a magazine.
Am I deluded, or is there a bit of a drift toward Windows garbage occurring at Apple? Gee, I sure hope not. I would hate to see OS X become a Windows look-alike.

How do you highlight text in document in Pages

How do you highlight text in document in Pages

but Pages is NOT a 3rd party app. it's an application that's programmed by apple. it's supposed to act something like Word in MS office, but that is not at all true.
choices for editing text, highlighting, et al., like what you find in MS Office Word, should be immediately available whenever you are inside of a Pages document, but that is not the case.
don't you wish that when you buy an apple app for apple/macs that is supposed to be like a windows something or another that it really is?

How do you keep text box formatting data after saving and closing a PDF? (Acrobat XI)

I love that Acrobat XI has the feature "Edit Text & Images". It saves me and my company time when modifying PDFs for our clients. Though I am having some formatting woes...
When I insert a new text box into the document, I can span the entire text box from top to bottom of the page. I can type whatever I want in it and it makes it simple for editing later. Though, when I save the document, close it, and reopen it, all the text that was in one huge text box is broken out into multiple text boxes (per line of text). This makes it a pain to do any edits to the document because the text overlaps and does not wrap (different text boxes over one another). How can I stop this from happening? Is there a way to combine multiple text boxes maybe? What is the best solution to this issue? (running trial version of Acrobat XI on Win7 64-bit)

Why we have chosen not to use comments is due to the how jumbled they become on a page. We are basically going back and putting detailed annotations/footnotes (with numbered markers) to identify what portion of the page the functionality lives/exist. Comments also sometimes close so you cannot find them very easily...
I have just figured out with this form text field solution, I can't use underlined text...sigh...
Update: Figured out the underlined text, CTRL+I

How do I link text from column 2 page 1 to column 1 page 2

I'm trying to do a newsletter now that I upgraded to 5.0 Pages. I see no way to link the text on my first page in the right column (I have two columns of text) to continue on page 2 in the left column. Where is the blue link box that was in the previous pages? Or how do I do it now?

How do I highlight text in the new Pages? It's not clear.

I have the new version of Pages. And it appears that highlighting of text is an issue. This is a basic function.
I found there is one quick key version, but doesn't clearly explain how to change highlighting colours. How to get into it.
I have to explain this to my 80 year old mom, who we told to get a Mac because it was easier!
So if anyone has it laid out step 1, 2, 3, that would be helpful, because it's not clear to me either.
Thanks!
Apple - please to a quick fix for this one, it should be the same as changing the size or the font or like bold or italic. Simple, clear, fast and doable..... for anyone!

TO Peter,
Thanks for the list. I had found it in LibreOffice, tucked away in the Background tab of the Character pane opened by the Character... menu item in the Format menu, and named "Background Color. A few steps further down than in Pages. Apache OpenOffice has it in the same place. But both also have a hilight icon in the toolbar.
I didn't fin highlighting or Color fill in Text Edit (v1.8). Might need a further search.
But this well-equipped party of (one) oscurantist did find a shorter path to highlighting text in Pages '09, cleverly hidden in plain view! See the image below.
TO hscortez,
I'm aware that changing the text colour is not highlighting.
But YeOldMacFan pointed out how to change text colour AND how to change background colour of text, using Character fill, found in the Advanced Options (Pages 5) or the More (Pages '09) tab of the Text Inspector.
Character Fill fills the space around the character with the chosen colour. As shown above, it's essentially the same effect as dragging a hiliter pen along a line of printed text.
Unfortunately, whats shown above is the Character fill well on the format bar of Pages '09—right out in the open like the highlighter pen button in LibreOffice, and presumeably in MS Word. I don't have Pages 5 (avoiding it until a few more of the missing features arrive), but I do note that Pages for iOS offers highlight as one of the options in the contextual menu that appears when a block of text is selcted.
The process appears to be:
tap twice to select some text.
drag the handles at each end of the selection to adjust what's selected.
tap Highlight in the menu that has appeared on the screen.
One thing missing appears to be colour choice. The default is a 'hiliter yellow'. I didn't see a way to select a different colour.
"Hopefully, this will make it on their upgrade list. "
Hope is good, but taking action is useful.
Pages menu > Provide Pages Feedback > Make your request that this be added to Pages 5. Requests made through Provide ...Feedback go directly to Apple. Comments and questions here are read by users like yourself, and we don't have the ability to change the way the apps work. Not directly,anyway.

How do you select text on a Web page in Firefox mobile for Android?

When trying to select text to copy, the only option is to share with email.

hello Gatorgatch, you can select text by long-taping on it - then there should appear an option to copy it in the toolbar at the top.

How do you mail merge in the new pages?

I have a pages document that I merge with an informational spreadsheet for real estate brochures in our office. However, I can't find a mail merge option anywhere in the newest version of pages. Does anyone know a way around this?
Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Sadly, you can't. One of many features removed.
Apple is now directing users to still use Pages 4.3, which is in am iWork folder within your Applications folder.
In the meantime, rate on the App Store and leave Feedback to let them know what you need:

How to link text-boxes in Pages 5.2?

How do you link text-boxes in Pages 5.2?

Thank you for your help; it is appreciated. I suspected that, but am still disappointed. I am finding myself getting more and more disenchanted with Apple products in the past few years. I've been a faithful fan, user and promoter since the 1980s, but I am starting to seriously doubt their competency in the past few years with the Pages 5 version as well as what iOS7 continues to do to my iPhone (as my prime examples). Instead of enhancing my life and work, Apple is beginning to waste my time -- a lot of it! Perhaps it is time for a change.... I don't want to, but I am starting to look for other alternatives.

How can I add linked text boxes to Contents?

I have a lot of sections in my chapters, and I think they are all coming in to the TOC, but the automatic text box doesn't have a blue tab, so I cannot add a new text box to continue showing the sections. How can I make this show up? There's no layout I can manipulate for the TOC, so I cannot make the text editable, which is the suggestion that I have seen for regular linked text boxes.

Hello,
If you want to add image to it's background then you can select the SubMenu and use the fill option to fill an image to it.
Make sure you uncheck "Edit together" option in Menu properties so that you can add different images to different submenus.
And if you want to edit the text and add images to it, I would suggest you to use Manual menu. Where you can customize your own Menu and add links to the Menus and Submenus.
Please have a look at the screenshot showing how to create Manual menu :
Hope this helps.

Sachin

How to recognize the linked text boxes in In Design

How to recognize the linked text boxes in In Design? I mean is there any indication, where I will come to know so an so tex boxes are linked together?
Thanks in advance.

HI Peter,
well In Quark Express as as wrote earlier, that you can see other text frames highlighted immediately, after you select any of the text frame among the threaded text frames, say there are 5 text frames which are threaded together, even if I click on 2 nd or say 4th text frame, it shows me all the text frames highlighted which are threaded together, so If I am working in a catalog which has multiple pages, it's easy for me to see which text frames are threaded together, as if you make any text changes, say add or delete text in a text frame, the other text frames get affected by that. I mean text shifts accordingly, it's easy to track in Quark which text frames will get affected if I change something in a threaded frame.
Anyways, it seems this option is not available in In Design. That's fine. I am not in preview or Overprint previed mode.
Thanks for your help.

How to select two text boxes (linked) separated by a distance?

dear all,
how to select two boxes in an indd CS6 document? I tried to label them also but unable to select.
Virender

Dear Uwe, Many thanks for your points.
I have 10 indd files and each file has one page and a table is only item present on page. So few files has table present in one table and few files has two text boxes because table has many rows so spiltted in two linked text boxes.
I somehow able to select both text boxes but while exporting them only one text box table get exported as png because of improper code.
#target Indesign
var sourceFolder = new Folder ("/Users/admin4/Desktop/INS");
var myFiles = sourceFolder.getFiles();
//alert (myFiles.length);
var destFolder = new Folder ("/Users/admin4/Desktop/folder3");
for (i=0; i < myFiles.length; i++)
     if (myFiles[i].name !=".DS_Store")
     var sourceDoc = app.open(myFiles[i]);
     app.activeDocument.pageItems.everyItem().select();
     //app.activeDocument.stories[0].tables[0].parent.select();
     var destFile = File(destFolder + "/" + myFiles[i].name + ".png");
     app.selection[0].exportFile(ExportFormat.PNG_FORMAT, destFile, false);
     // here i need to correct code.
     sourceDoc.close(SaveOptions.NO);
