To unthread text frames without deleting the frames themselves, double-click the out port on the first frame (or the last frame you want to remain threaded in the story). The story will roll back into that frame (most likely oversetting the text), while all subsequent frames will unthread, leaving them empty and ready to receive new text.

I’m not sure why, but this doesn’t work for me. When I double click on either the out-port of the source text box or the in-port of the destination text box, it just creates a new, linked text box. It’s infuriating. Clicking on the out-port of one and then the in-port of another doesn’t work, either. The only way I can kill off text threads is to delete all the text boxes that I don’t want linked. Usually, I want to keep the text boxes, but not the links. Sheesh! It’s not enough to make me go back to Quark, but it doesn’t leave me singing the praises of InDesign, either.
