About frames
In theLayoutviewofadocument in progress,you seeone or more boxesonthe page.These nonprintingboxes might
contain text, graphics, or nothing. The boxes represent frames—spaces in the layout reserved for specific elements.
Each frame is defined to contain either text or a graphic.
Text frames Controlwhich storiesappearwhere,and howmuchpageareatheycover.For linkedstories,framesare
defined by the InDesign user. If multiple frames are set aside for a story, the frame configuration determines how the
story text flows through the layout.
Graphics frames Can function as borders and background, and can crop or mask graphics. You can work with
graphics inside frames in InCopy, and you can see the graphics frames from InDesign layouts when you work with
linked documents. You can also work with the frames of inline graphics (embedded in text), but you cannot work
with other graphics frames.
Empty frames Are placeholders. You can distinguish empty text frames from empty graphics frames by their
appearance. A empty box represents an empty text frame; a box with an X across it indicates an empty graphics frame.
You can add text to an empty text frame only if it’s associated with the story exported to InCopy from InDesign. You
can also import or paste graphics into an empty graphics frame in InCopy.

To show or hide frame edges
In Layout view, you can choose to see or hide frame edges. Hiding frame edges also hides the X in an empty graphics
frame.
