In Quark, and even page maker, you could un-link the text boxes, and the text would stay in the box it was in. I have 500 names, which I entered into linked boxes - now I want to "unlink" them (is what it would have been called in Quark) as they need to be re-arranged. Any thoughts?

When I double click on either the out-port of the source text box or the in-port of the destination text box, it just creates a new, linked text box. It's infuriating. Clicking on the out-port of one and then the in-port of another doesn't work, either. The only way I can kill off text threads is to delete all the text boxes that I don't want linked. Usually, I want to keep the text boxes, but not the links. Sheesh! It's not enough to make me go back to Quark, but it doesn't leave me singing the praises of InDesign, either.
