Creating a Frame

Before you can type text, insert a table, import a picture, design WordArt, or insert an OLE object, you must draw the appropriate frame for that type of object. The frame serves as a container to hold objects, such as a block of text, a picture, or a graphic element you've created yourself.

Create a Frame

Click the corresponding frame toolbar button to create the type of object you want.

Refer to the table for information on the different tools.

Position the pointer on the page where you want the frame.

Press and hold the mouse button, while you drag diagonally.

The frame boundary will appear.

Release the mouse button when you have created a frame the size you want.
