Viewing empty frames Empty linked text frames do not show when you are
adding new ones. You can add a border by selecting the frame and choosing
a width from the pen width palette.
Working with movies
If you have the QuickTime extension installed in your system, you can add
movies to your documents, play them on the screen, and make simple
changes.
You can work with movies in word processing, draw, and spreadsheet
documents, and in multimedia fields and Layout mode of a database
document.
Adding a movie to a document
You can import, insert, or paste a movie into any document type (except
communications) and into a multimedia field in a database document. See
“Importing and exporting documents” on page 2-18 for more information.
Movies appear in the document as a picture with a control badge in the
lower-left corner.
Note In a word processing document, the QuickTime movie control bar is
not available when the movie has been inserted or pasted as an inline object
in text. To play a movie inserted this way, double-click the movie frame. To
stop the movie, single-click the movie frame. To make the movie control bar
available in a word processing document, insert the movie as an object
(select the arrow pointer, and choose Insert from the File menu).
Setting movie options
You can control how a movie plays in an AppleWorks document by clicking
the movie object so it appears with handles and choosing Movie Info from the
Edit menu.
