| Threading from the ports: selected area type and type on a path show an in port and an out port, empty, with an arrow on a side where the frame is threaded, or with a red "+" in the out port when the text doesn't fit; a click on either port loads the text; a click on a closed path, area type or type on a path threads into it, a click on empty canvas makes a frame of the same kind, shape and size there, a drag draws a rectangular frame; the frame placed comes after the clicked one from its out port and before it from its in port (the story then starts there); Escape or another tool cancels; a double-click on a threaded port breaks the thread there | partial | #2572: the Selection tool, `text.thread.add {from, to?, rect?, at?, before?}`, as the reference app's help describes ports and threading ([archived help, Threading text between objects](https://web.archive.org/web/20210119051048/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/creating-text.html), [create text threads](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/add-manage-text/create-text-threads-between-objects.html)); area type's in port sits on the left side below the top-left corner, type on a path's just before its start bracket; Show Text Threads draws its lines between the same ports; with more than 1,000 such objects selected no ports are drawn. a double-click on a port where the frame is threaded breaks the thread there, the story flowing into the frames before the break and the frames after it left empty, still threaded with each other when two or more (`text.thread.break`, [archived help](https://web.archive.org/web/20220127090642/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/creating-text.html)).
