Flowing text in anchored box to second text box
Okay, so I've got these text boxes (usually containing tables as well as regular old text) that I'd like to drop into my document as anchored text boxes. If they don't fit entirely on the page (and usually they don't), I size the box depth to fit the page, and get the red box with the plus sign.
But when I click on the plus sign, nothing happens.
If I shorten the text box BEFORE I anchor it, and click on the plus sign, it works and I can flow the text into a second text box. But that doesn't do me any good, because then I can't anchor it in my text -- it just anchors the first box, and the text stops at the bottom of the box.
Does this make sense? Is there a workaround? I'm guessing what I want to do is impossible, because ID wouldn't know what I want it to do with the second box.
But I really want to anchor these text boxes, because text changes are making all of my pages rebreak, and I don't want to have to repeatedly manually move the text boxes.
Anyway, someone please tell me this is impossible so I don't waste time trying. <g>
TIA,
Marlene
