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 to link text frames in Pages 5.2?

The correct term in Pages is Text Boxes, and true linking is not implemented in v5.2. You can Unite, Intersect, Subtract, and Exclude multiple Text Boxes via the Arrange panel. These attributes only appear when two or more Text Boxes are selected. Also, on the Arrange menu, you will need Object Placement set to Move with Text, and the Text Wrap set to None for more accurate positioning.
In the following example, there was initially a Text Box with overflowing text that was duplicated. With both Text Boxes selected and aligned, I could then use the Unite feature from the Arrange panel. This allowed the text to flow into the second box. Selecting text in one box and dragging upwards continues the text selection between both boxes. Hoefler italic applied in one box is applied to both. Appropriately placed, another trip to the Arrange panel to enable Text Wrap around and text fit adjustments.

Linking text boxes in Pages

I can no longer link text boxes in Mavericks. I have version 10.9.3 installed. It seems like this is a problem that should have/would have been addressed long ago. When I go to Format in Pages, the Add Link is in light grey and it will not let me add the link. Am I missing something....

You should be posting in the Pages for Mac community for better response.
The last Pages version that linked text boxes was Pages ’09 v4.3. Pages v5.2 does not have this capability, and only Apple knows when or if they will fix that glaring omission.
If you had the older mentioned Pages installed before (downgrading) to Pages v5+, it was moved into /Applications/iWork ’09, and remains a functional improvement over Pages v5+.

Turn off linking text boxes in Pages

I find the linking text boxes annoying because I'm always fighting trying to STRETCH a box and Pages wants to add a linking floating text box.
Does anyone know how to turn off this feature completely, so it never comes back on unless I want it to?
For a while it was OFF, and then all of a sudden I'm back fighting the linking text box feature when trying to move my text box where I want it.
Thanks for any suggestions or help!

Pamela,
No, I don't believe that you can disable Text Box Linking. Just keep your mouse pointer away from the Link Handles.

Having trouble linking text boxes in Pages on iMac

I can't seem to link text boxes so that text flows from one to another. Has the process in Pages changed in the new update? Any advice? Thanks!

All versions of Pages v5 have omitted the ability to link Text boxes.

I cannot link text boxes in Pages 5.0 like I could in previous versions. Solutions?

In previous versions of Pages, one could create text boxes and then link them. This was very useful for creating multi-page booklets with proper pagination, without having to use an expensive publishing software. Linking of textboxes is no longer available in Pages 5.0. Does anyone have a work-around for this problem?

Pages 5 has over 90+ missing features.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Trash or archive Pages 5 (after exporting any documents back to Pages '09 format) and review it in the App Store.

Linking text boxes in Pages v5.5.1

My old Pages, '09, was able to link text in text boxes. I just upgraded to Yosemite, and then to Pages v 5.5.1, and now, when opening my old newsletters, the text boxes unlink, and I can not find a way to re-link them. I need to have text boxes linked in my newsletters. Help!

Gone, with over 100 other features.
Use Pages '09 it should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

Is there a way to link text boxes in pages 5?

The previous version, 4.3 allowed easy linking of textboxes. This made creation of booklets simple, without having to resort to desktop publishing programs. Does anyone know how to link in 5.0?

Pages '09 is still in your Applications/iWork folder. Use that.
Also rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.

Linked Text Box

I'm using iBooks Author Version 2
I am unable to find how to link text boxes. There is reference to selecting "Format --> Text Box --> Add linked text box" but that option is always ghosted for me no mater what I try!
I'm making my own layout on a page. I've put a text box in the first column and I'd like to link the text to a text box at the top of the next column on the same page.
I'm seeing a + at the bottom of the text box, indicating there is more text. It would seem logical to click that + to link it to another box, but I'm unable to click on the +, no matter how hard I try!
Your help on this is appreciated.

Thank you for your effort in drafting this response. Perhaps I wasn’t clear in stating my dilemma(s) in this instance.
I have successfully used Pages (though its several iterations, to date) in publishing, among other things, newsletters for local interest groups – to my great and continuing satisfaction. I previously have used virtually every bell and whistle in Inspector to produce (if I may immodestly say so) great looking copy in tried-and-true templates I designed.
THIS problem is different.
I started with multiple blank pages in both the WP and then Layout mode.
I then put a blank text box on a blank page 1, and alternately, linked multiple blank text boxes on the additional blank pages. All, before attempting to paste the desired text.
In neither instance did that pasting of the multiple pages show, either as a continuance of text from blank pg. 1 to 2,3,4 etc, OR on the blank, linked text boxes following pg. 1, i.e. 2,3,4 etc.
Even with multiple attempts.
I’m leaving something out, somehow, and neither the Manual nor my experience is helpful in solving this anomaly.

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.

Does the Pages update include linking text boxes?

Does the Pages update include linking text boxes? This was a great feature in the previous iWork: Pages version.

I agree. The latest version of Pages is marketed as a huge leap forward, and indeed it probably is...
How so? It has a new coat of paint, Apple sells it as "New" and everyone thinks it is an "improvement"?
How on earth can you not notice or ignore what is so obviously wrong with it?

Why dosn't pages 5.1 have linked text boxes

Pages 5.1 no longer supports linked text boxes. How do you open older files and reformat them without losing information?

Thank you, I've come to the same realization. However, I think I'll stick to Pages 09 all the way. Using both versions sounds like creating ground for a world of compatibility issues. As a veteran Pages user, Pages 5 is a sobering new release. It is a sad day.
