Can you connect text boxes like you do in Publisher?

I would like to know if you can connect different text boxes so the text will
flow from one to the next.

I want to connect text boxes on different slides.
 
Sorry I didnt mean to post that!

This vba cuts lines beyond 6 from a placeholder that is selected and pastes
it into a placeholder on the target slide. Note the traget slide must exist
and be a title + text layout. This is pretty bare bones code and if you know
vba you can maybe play with it.

Sub linecut()
Dim imaxlines As Integer
Dim itarget As Integer
imaxlines = 6 'change the value if needed
itarget = InputBox("Target slide?")
On Error GoTo Err

With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.TextFrame.TextRange
..Copy
..Lines(imaxlines + 1, .Lines.Count).Delete
End With
With
ActivePresentation.Slides(itarget).Shapes.Placeholders(2).TextFrame.TextRange
..Paste
..Lines(1, imaxlines).Delete
End With

Exit Sub
Err:
MsgBox ("Error, is anything selected?")
End Sub

Did that answer the question / help?
