Thread Text on Two Paths

Hey, there's no rule that says you have to use closed shapes as text frames when you're threading text (mind you, in Illustrator 10 there was). You can also thread text on a path to another path, from a closed object to a path, or from a path to a closed object. Use the regular method of clicking on the first text object's Out Port icon (the tiny red box on the path with an plus sign [+] indicating text overflow), and then clicking on the next text object to create the thread.
