Yes, but that's not dynamic. I.e. if you change the size of your first text
box, this reference is not longer at the bottom of it. (It might be further
up, or it might have slipped to the next text box.)
What publisher does is to make this a component of the text box, not the
text. So this continued from/to is guaranteed to be at the top/bottom of
the respective boxes, no matter what sizes they are.
Would someone with the 2007 beta mind looking to see if they've put that
facility into Word text boxes for 2007 (it's not there in 2003). FWIW the
menu train to get at the option in Publisher 2003 is in my previous message,
which is still in the quotes of this message. The same menu train in Word
2003 gets you to where the option would be, but it's not there.
