button from the Text Frames flyout on the Standard Objects toolbar.

2. Click on the page or pasteboard to create a new frame at a default size or

drag to adjust the frame's dimensions.

You can use the Update Object Default from the Format menu

to set properties for future new frames you create. See Updating

and saving defaults on p. 156.

To delete a frame:

• Select the frame and press the Delete key. (If there's a selection point in

the text, pressing Delete will remove characters after the cursor.)

• With or without an insertion point, choose Delete Object from the Edit

menu.

Putting text into a frame

You can put text into an HTML or Creative frame in one of several ways. For

HTML frames, text will be converted to compliant HTML code.
