The dialog box displays a list of all available placeholders in the active page.
The right list displays the selected placeholders which should display the same 
text in all pages.

To create a linked text header box

* Create a table object or at least two text objects.
  Add a placeholder to each text object or a cell of a table object.
  A placeholder is a name enclosed in $ signs, for example $Title$.

  See also :ref:`information/legend-boxes`, :ref:`diagrammore-diagram-functionsimport-page`.

* Group the two text objects. Hold down the CTRL key and click the two
  text objects. Click on the group button in the toolbar. If you have created
  a table object, right click the table object and select the "Configuration" 
  command. Select the option "Use Placeholder Dialog box".

* Now you can test the text box. Double-click on one of the text elements
  to open the Placeholder Dialog box.

* Copy the header into all the other pages.

* Now we are ready to create the placeholder link. Right click outside a page
  frame or on the page name tab and select the command  **Global Placeholders**.
  In the following dialog choose the global placeholders. The global placeholders
  will display the same text on all pages.

  The placeholder text is limited to a single line. Add only one placeholder
  to each cell of a table object or a text object.
