You can repeat this process to link multiple text boxes. Step 3: Move your cursor over your second text frame, and the cursor will change to a chain link icon, indicating that the text frame can be linked. Click on the port to activate it, and InDesign will ‘load’ your cursor with the thread from that text frame. Step 2: Click on your first text frame to select it, and look at the bottom right corner of the bounding box to locate the text frame’s output port (shown above). Alternatively, you can hold down the Command key (use the Ctrl key if you’re using InDesign on a PC) to temporarily switch to the Selection Tool. Step 1: Switch to the Selection Tool using the Tools panel or the keyboard shortcut V. Follow the easy steps below to link text boxes in InDesign.
