Unthread text frames

When you unthread a text frame, you break the connection between the frame and all subsequent frames in the thread.

Any text that previously appeared in the frames becomes overset text (no text is deleted). All subsequent frames are

empty.

❖ Using the Selection tool, do one of the following:

• Double-click an in port or out port to break the connection between frames.

• Click an in port or an out port that represents a thread to another frame. For example, in a two-framed thread,

click either the out port of the first frame or the in port of the second frame. Position the loaded text icon over

the previous or next frame to display the unthread icon

. Click in the frame you want to remove from the

thread.

To break one story into two stories, cut the text that needs to go in the second story, break the connection between the

frames, and then paste the text into the first frame of the second story.

Cut or delete threaded text frames

Whenever you cut or delete text frames, no text is deleted; the text remains in the thread.

Cut a frame from a thread

You can cut a frame from a thread and paste the frame elsewhere. The frame is removed with a copy of the text, but no

text is removed from the original story. When you cut and paste a series of threaded text frames at once, the pasted

frames maintain their connection to each other, but lose connection to any other frames in the original story.

1 Using the Selection tool, select one or more frames (Shift-click to select multiple objects).

2 Choose Edit > Cut. The frame disappears, and any text contained in it flows to the next frame in the story. When

you cut the last frame in a story, the text is stored as overset text in the previous frame.

3 If you want to use the disconnected frame elsewhere in your document, go to the page where you want the

disconnected text to appear and choose Edit > Paste.

Delete a frame from a thread

When you delete a text frame that is part of a thread, no text is deleted: it is overset or it flows into the next frame in

succession. If the text frame isn’t connected to any other frame, the frame and text are deleted.

1 To select the text frame, do one of the following:

• Using a selection tool, click the frame.

• Using the Type tool, hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS), and then click the frame.

2 Press Backspace or Delete.
