• To set the size of the frame, drag out a region and release the mouse
button. If needed, use the Shift key while dragging to maintain
aspect ratio (to a square).
Picture frames can also be applied to objects such as text frames and
tables.
To add a picture to a frame (and vice versa):
• From the Assets tab (Pictures category), drag and drop a picture
directly onto the picture frame.
- or -
• From the Assets tab (Picture Frames category), drag and drop a
picture frame directly onto an already placed picture.
The picture is added to the frame using default Picture Frame
properties, i.e. it is scaled to maximum fit; aspect ratio is always
maintained. However, you can alter the picture's size, orientation,
positioning, and scaling relative to its frame using the button shown
under the selected frame or Frame Properties on the Picture context
toolbar.
Creating shaped picture frames
While you can take advantage of PagePlus's preset frames you can create
your own shape (e.g., a morphed QuickShape or closed curve) then
convert it to a picture frame.
To create a shaped picture frame:
1. Create a closed shape or QuickShape.
2. Right-click the shape and select Convert To>Picture Frame.
You can then add a picture to the frame as described previously.
