Hello,

in the UI it is not possible to define a nextTextFrame of an anchored textFrame in InDesign CS3.
You cannot create a link from an anchored textFrame to another textframe using the nextFrame- or the previousFrame-property of the anchored textFrame or the target textFrame by script, too.

But with the assistance of the plugin OversetManager (http://www.vjoon.de/publishing-loesungen/plug-ins/overset-manager/) you can link overset text of an anchored textframe to a new textframe. With the linked textframe you can do what you want to: move, resize ...

If you once have created such a linked textframe with the assistance of the ContentManager-plugin the link between the anchored textframe and the next text frame will be active even if you deactivate this plugin.

Can anybody explain how to create a nextTextFrame of an anchored textframe without using this plugin?.
