If you add text to a threaded story, you may need to adjust the size of the last text box or create a new text box so that all of the text is visible.

In Publisher, several stories may appear on the same publication page and continue elsewhere in the publication, but each story is a separate unit.

A story can be one letter or several pages of text and can be contained in a single text box or threaded through many different ones. A story is text that Publisher recognizes as a single unit. About Text BoxesĪ text box is a portion of a story. When you link text boxes, Publisher gives you visual clues as to whether there is text previous to or following the current text box, and whether there is text in your story that is not yet displayed in your publication. Linked text boxes allow text in the same story to be continued in multiple text boxes located on different pages. When you are working with columns of text or stories that will extend beyond one page, you will want to work with linked text boxes. This article is based on legacy software.
