Apple AppleWorks 5 : Mac OS - Manual (Page 57)

Basics 3-9
Working with frames
In AppleWorks, you can add different types of information (spreadsheet
data, text, and paint images) to the same document. These different types of
information are stored in special objects called frames. A frame is an object
that acts like a window to another type of document. You can draw frames
in every type of document (except communications).
To create a frame, click to select a frame tool in the tool panel, position the
pointer over the page, and then hold down the mouse button and drag the
pointer until the frame is the size you want. You can now work in the frame,
and you see the appropriate menu commands for that frame (for example,
you see spreadsheet commands when you work in a spreadsheet frame).
