Get yourself unlinked.
Back at the shop we’ve come across several niggly bits and other annoyances while using Adobe InDesign to produce our catalog. Don’t get me wrong, we adore using InDesign nearly as much as we enjoy vehemently abusing QuarkXpress. However, nothing is truly perfect, especially when it comes to software. And the longer you use a piece of software, the more gum you find stuck underneath the seat. The latest pain in the floating tool palette was the fact that there was no way to unlink multiple text boxes without completely reflowing all of the text contained in the individual boxes. There was no way that is, until I found email hidden; JavaScript is required4cD7a%5E1@.ef6d806%2F" title="Adobe User To User Forums: Unthreading Text Frames">this wonderful AppleScript written by the equally wonderful Peter Boctor. There’s also a VBScript version for all you Windozers as well. I think we just saved two days worth of drudge work. Huzzah.
