TextMaker?

I downloaded it. Some interesting similarities to frame maker. Especially
the ease with which you can make blocks of text anywhere. They even call
them 'frames'.

But, what I did not see is, if you make two text frames, how do you
connect two so that the text flows from on to the other? It is a feature
of FrameMaker I have not found. For example, in a newsletter, you want to
start an article on page one, but it should continue elsewhere in the doc.
In Maker, just make the various text frames and then connect them to
determine the text flow through the document.

(As my daughter might say, "If you love FrameMaker so much, why don't you
marry it." I did. But we are currently separated. FM got the windows. I
got the Penguin.)
