Text and pictures in a document are always placed in frames. You can have up to 100 frames per page, and up to 8,192 in a single document. DISPLAYING THE RULERS Use the rulers to help you draw and position frames accurately on the page. To display the rulers, choose Show rulers in the Options menu. If the rulers are displayed, this command is checked. CHANGING THE RULER SPACING Select Ruler spacing... in the Options menu to choose the unit of measurement used throughout the program: * Picas and points * Centimeters * Inches and tenths * Inches and eighths SETTING THE COLUMN GUIDES You can also use the column guides (in addition to rulers) to help you draw and position frames accurately. To set the column guides, choose Set column guides... in the Options menu. When the form appears, select up to 9 columns, and specify the amount of space to be left around and between them. SNAPPING TO THE COLUMN GUIDES Frames automatically "jump" into position (snap) when drawn, moved or sized. The left and right edges of a frame will snap to the column guides, and the top and bottom edges will snap to the nearest ruler unit. Choose Snap to guides in the Options menu to turn snapping off. This command is checked when snapping is turned on. DRAWING FRAMES Draw frames by switching to Frame mode (by clicking on the frame icon in the tool box) and dragging the mouse to the right and down.

To allow text to flow under a frame, select the frame and choose Text runaround... in the Options menu. You can also specify an area of "padding" around the frame. This command is checked when Text runaround is turned on for the selected frame. FRAME BORDERS Choose Frame border... in the Options menu to specify a border for the selected frame.
