Creating text frames
You add text frames and position them on the page as you would any
other object, in advance of adding text content.
To create a frame:
1. Select
Standard Text Frame on the Tools toolbar.
2. Click on the page or pasteboard to create a new frame at a default
size.
- or -
Drag out to place the text frame at your chosen dimensions.
To delete a frame:
• Select the frame—click its edge until a solid border appears—and
then press the Delete key.
You can select, move, and resize text frames just like other objects (see
PagePlus Help for details). When you select a frame's bounding box,
indicated by a solid border, you can manage the frame properties;
selecting inside a frame creates a blinking insertion point in the frame's
text (the frame's boundary box becomes hatched to indicate editing
mode). In this mode, you can edit the text. (For details, see Editing text
on the page on p. 58.)

editor:
