Text frames allow you to add text boxes to your documents. These frames can be placed anywhere on the page, and options can be set for how the regular document text flows around the frame. You can insert a new frame from the Insert menu (select Insert, Frame). However, the easiest way to insert the frame is to use the Insert button on the Main toolbar. This allows you to create the frame and size it on-the-fly. Insert Text Frame from Main Toolbar
Tip You can move or resize the frame as needed. Place the mouse pointer on one of the frame borders until the sizing handle appears. Drag to change the size and shape of the frame. To move the frame, drag the frame to a new location or drag the anchor for the frame that appears to the left of the frame near the left margin. Enter Text in Frame
Tip You can format the text in a frame as you would any other text in the document. You can change fonts, size, color, and layout such as columns. Open Frame Dialog

Tip You can also format the frame for borders, backgrounds, and columns in the Frame dialog box. Select a tab (such as Background) and then select the properties you want to apply to the frame. Set Frame Wrap Properties
