I have a document that was first written as several sections with many pages per section. I need to seperate them into chapters. So I need to know how to unthread text frames so I break the link from one text frame but keep the sections together. ie: Doc has 30 pages and is 3 seperate topics of ten pages each. How do I keep pages 1-10 linked and break 10 to 11 then keep 11-20 linked and break 20-21 and keep 21-30 linked? IN-Design CS5 And I have tried both scripts break frame and split story and they are not what I want. Why does this not work?
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.
![]()
Removing frame from 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.
