Unlink Text Threads in Indesign

1) Select at least one of the text boxes that contains flowing text.
2) Go to Window > Utilities > Scripts

Thank you so much!!!!
I'm glad this helped you out!
unlink a story in 2 parts ?
Let's say I have a 600 pages document all pages linked .
How do i split my document so that 300 pages are linked together
and an independent part II of the rest pages are linked together ?
I came accross with the script SplitStory but that unlinks a single page text frame, but I might be wrong on that script.
Thanks in advance
Thank you! That was so easy, and will be so helpful!
I hope it works out for you! That script is hidden in the pallets menus, but works wonderfully!
Thank you! Great help!

I guess you already solved this, but just in case it works for somebody else: don't use the apple scripts but the java scripts. This helped me unlink a huge amount of text thread in two :)
thank you! it's very helpful!
I found your explanation crystal clear, and it worked. Thank you sooo much.
