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.
Note If you create a text frame and then click outside the frame before you
enter text, the frame disappears.
Typing text
To type text, place the pointer where you want the text and click the mouse.
Then:
* Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry. Then choose a topic from
the list and click Go To Topic.
To Do this

you reach the end of a line—AppleWorks wraps
the words to the next line.

Return again to insert a blank line.
Move the insertion point Move the I-beam pointer to where you want to
insert text and click. (You can also move the
