SYMPTOMS
When you are working in a master document and you attempt to link text boxes in subdocuments, the insertion point is displayed as a pitcher icon or you get the following error message:
CAUSE
Microsoft Word allows you to link text boxes in the same document or subdocument. Text boxes can be added to any subdocument in a master document; however, a text box in one subdocument cannot be linked to a text box in a different subdocument.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem and exit text box linking mode (represented by a pitcher icon), press the ESC key.
