Indesign Link between two TextFrames
jacintha mary (5 points) | Thu, 2007-01-04 07:34Hi frens,
I'm new to indesign. I have some problem regarding the Textframes link. Can anyone help me out to find solution for this.
How to create a Link between two TextFrames (one story to other) in InDesign CS2 using Visual Basic 6.0.
I have to link first story last textframe with the second story first textframe. How to do this?
I have tried using this code:
Set mystory = mydocument.Stories.Item(i)
Set mystory1 = mydocument.Stories.Item(i + 1)
Set myTB = mystory.TextFrames.LastItem
Set myTB1 = mystory1.TextFrames.FirstItem
myTB.TextFrame.Next = myTB1.TextFrame
Thanks in advance

Im not sure what you mean by Visual Basic but the way I do it is:
Select tool - click on the first text box you want to link to another. Then on that same box, click on the botton right square that is a little above the corver. The text box's bounding box turns blue and your cursor changes into a paragraph like icon. then drag your cusor over the 2nd text box you want to link with the first one and the cursor will change into a link/chain like icon. click that box and u will have the 2 boxes linked....
Hope that helps, thats the best I can write it but again i didnt really get your question clearly...you might probably know this already but...
Good luck!
Why would you want to use VB to do it? have you checked to see if Adobe has an SDK? I know they do for Acrobat
you can copy and paste an entire story into one text frame then link them successively in Indesign, and it will reflow into the other boxes automatically.
I suppose I can see where this might be tough in a 1000+ pg document though
