SYMPTOMS
When you are working in a master document and you attempt to link text boxes in subdocuments, either the insertion point is displayed as a pitcher icon, or the following error message appears:
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 quit the text box linking mode (represented by a pitcher icon), press the ESC key.
