Operation Manual

Working with Text 93
• When you move a text frame, its story text moves with it.
• When you resize a text frame, its story text reflows to the new
dimensions.
Frames can be linked so that a single story continues from one frame to another.
But text frames can just as easily stand alone. Thus in any publication, you can
create text in a single frame, spread a story over several frames, and/or include
many independent frame sequences. By placing text frames anywhere, in any
order, you can build up newspaper or newsletter style publications with a story
flowing from one column to another (below) or even across pages.
When you select a frame you'll see its bounding box, indicated by a gray border
line plus corner and edge handles, and (if you clicked with the Pointer Tool) a
blinking insertion point in the frame's text. In this mode, you can edit the text
with the Pointer Tool. (For details, see Editing text on the page on p. 108.)
Text frames behave like other PagePlus objects—when selected, you can
manipulate them as for shapes, lines, artistic text, and tables. Here's a breakdown
of text frame capabilities.
