Layout and design

In the Document window’s Design view, when a frame is selected, its borders are outlined with a dotted line; when a
frameset is selected, all the borders of the frames within the frameset are outlined with a light dotted line.
Note: Placing the insertion point in a document that’s displayed in a frame is not the same as selecting a frame. There are
various operations (such as setting frame properties) for which you must select a frame.
Select a frame or frameset in the Frames panel
1 Select Window > Frames.
2 In the Frames panel:
• To select a frame, click the frame. (A selection outline appears around the frame in both the Frames panel and
the Document window’s Design view.)
• To select a frameset, click the border that surrounds the frameset.
Select a frame or frameset in the Document window
• To select a frame, Shift-Alt-click (Windows) or Shift-Option-click (Macintosh) inside a frame in Design view.
• To select a frameset, click one of the frameset’s internal frame borders in Design view. (Frame borders must be visible
to do this; select View >Visual Aids > Frame Borders to make frame borders visible if they aren’t.)
Note: It’s generally easier to select framesets in the Frames panel than in the Document window. For more information, see
the above topics.
Select a different frame or frameset
• To select the next or previous frame or frameset at the same hierarchical level as the current selection, press Alt+Left
Arrow or Alt+Right Arrow (Windows), or Command+Left Arrow or Command+Right Arrow (Macintosh). Using
these keys, you can cycle through frames and framesets in the order in which they’re defined in the frameset file.
• To select the parent frameset (the frameset that contains the current selection), press Alt+Up Arrow (Windows) or
Command+Up Arrow (Macintosh).
