    I have existiing text boxes (inDesign)I need to thread (they are not overflowing). I select the out port on say, the first one and get place holder text – when I select the in port on the second box of text, the text in the second existing box disappears. Tried a million times, tried the internet. Can you help? Much appreciated in advance.

    Odd. Can’t replicate in CS6:
    With text in 2 unconnected boxes, 1 and 2…
    a) If I try it with plenty of room in box1, click the out port, then click box 2, the text from box 2 ends up on the end of the text in box 1, because box 1 had enough space left over for more text. If box 2’s text is too long for box 1, some of it fills up box 1 and then continues in box 2.
    b) If I try it with overset text in box 1, click the red plus, click box 2 and the overset text becomes the first text in box 2 followed by what was originally in box 2.

    Chris.
