What's a text frame?
A text frame is effectively a mini-page, with:
• Margins and column guides to control text flow.
• Optional preceding and following frames.
• Text and optional inline images that flow through the frames.
The text in a frame is called a story.
• When you move a text frame, its story text moves with it.
• When you resize a text frame, its story text reflows to the new
dimensions.
Frames can be linked so that a single story continues from one frame to another.
But text frames can just as easily stand alone. Thus in any publication, you can
create text in a single frame, spread a story over several frames, and/or include
many independent frame sequences. By placing text frames anywhere, in any
order, you can build up newspaper or newsletter style publications with a story
flowing from one column to another (below) or even across pages.
