Join and Split Text Objects

By Cynthia, 5 December, 2025

With the Join command, you can connect blocks of text into one single paragraph in a block to improve text reflow. Blocks of text may be joined together when you need to join text as one object. Otherwise, a block of text can be divided up into several parts with the Split command. 

To join text blocks, do the following:

  1. Click Edit > Link & Join Text.
  2. Click the text blocks you want to join. The text blocks you selected will be numbered.
  3. Click the Join command in the Join & Split context tab, or right-click the selected blocks and select Join Text Boxes. Then the selected blocks will be joined together as one block.

To split a text block, please click Edit > Link & Join Text, and click the text block you want to split. Click the Split command in the Join & Split context tab, or right-click the selected block and select Split Text Boxes. Then the selected block will be divided.

Note: All selected blocks should be on the same page.
