The following code example links frames of paragraph text together and displays which frames are empty:

Sub Test() 
 Dim s As Shape 
 Dim s1 As Shape 
 Dim s2 As Shape 
 Dim t As Text 
 Dim f As TextFrame 
 Dim d As Document 
 Dim st As String 
 Set d = CreateDocument 
 Set s = d.ActiveLayer.CreateParagraphText(2, 2, 5, 5, String$(1000, 
"Z")) 
 Set s1 = d.ActiveLayer.CreateParagraphText(5, 5, 8, 8) 
 Set s2 = d.ActiveLayer.CreateParagraphText(8, 8, 10, 10) 
 Set t = s.Text 
 ' Link the frames together 
 t.Frame.LinkTo s1 
 s1.Text.Frame.LinkTo s2 
 For Each f In t.Frames 
  If f.Empty Then 
   st = st & "Frame " & f.Index & vbCr 
  End If 
 Next f 
 MsgBox st 
End Sub
