Text (word processing)

4-3

Text in a word processing document looks the same on the screen as it does
when it’s printed.

Working with text frames

Use a text frame when you want to add a block of text to a spreadsheet, draw,
or paint document, or to a database document in Layout mode. (You can’t
create a text frame in a database document in Browse, Find, or List modes.)

When you finish working with the text inside a text frame, click outside the
frame to make the frame’s handles reappear and to restore the main
document’s menu bar and functions.

When you draw a text frame in a word processing, draw, spreadsheet, or
database document, you can move, resize, or reshape the text frame. Select
the arrow pointer on the tool panel

and select the text frame. To resize or

reshape the text frame, click a corner handle and drag it to a new position.
