SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to connect two or more text frames in Microsoft Publisher,
the Connect Frames toolbar, which provides options for linking the frames,
does not appear.
CAUSE
You previously closed the Connect Frames toolbar.
RESOLUTION
To show the Connect Frames toolbar, follow these steps:
- Select an existing text frame. Or, create a new text frame using the
Frame tool on the Objects toolbar and then select it.
- On the Tools menu, click Connect Text Frame.
NOTE: If the Connect Text Frame command on the Tools menu is
unavailable (dimmed) you do not have a text frame selected. Select
a text frame and the repeat step 2.
In certain cases, the Connect Text Frames toolbar may not appear after
performing these steps. In this case, you can restore the toolbar by
resetting the toolbar settings in Microsoft Publisher. For more information
about how to do this, please see the following article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION
The Connect Frames toolbar is a floating toolbar. This means you can dock
(position) it anywhere in the Publisher window.

Assistant, type "How do I connect text frames," click Search, and then
click to view "What are connected text frames."
NOTE: If the Assistant is hidden, click the Microsoft Publisher Help
button on the Standard toolbar.
