Creating text frames
You add frames to a page as you would any other object. PagePlus supports a
wide variety of frame shapes which can be resized and morphed into new shapes
once placed on the page (just like QuickShapes; see p. 182).
To create a frame:
1. Select a standard or shaped text frame from the
Text Frame
flyout on the Tools toolbar.
2. Click on the page or pasteboard to create a new frame at a default size.

Drag out to place the text frame at your chosen dimensions.
To create a frame (from a shape):
• You can also draw a shape and select Convert to>Shaped Text
Frame on the Tools menu (text is not auto-aligned).
- or -
• Type directly onto any shape to automatically create a shaped frame
(text is automatically centered vertically and horizontally). Useful for
creating objects for diagrams!
To delete a frame:
• Select the frame—click its edge until a gray border appears—and then
press the Delete key.
You can select, move, and resize text frames just like other objects. (See p. 55,
63, and 63, respectively.)
