Actually, it is now 'Horizontal Frame' in W2003: but it doesn't mean there
is a Vertical Frame!
Terry
: Aha! I have snared you. A frame is a "classic" Word feature that Microsoft
: began to hide when the text box was introduced. But it turns out that
there
: are many situations where a text box is not suitable, and this is one of
: them because Word can't "see" text in a text box for purposes of TOCs,
: cross-references, etc.
:
: To get started with frames, display the Forms toolbar. Select both your
: graphic and your caption and click on the Insert Frame button. This will
put
: both of them in a frame. The frame will probably have a border, which you
: can remove using the No Border button on the Borders palette (flyout from
: the Formatting or Tables and Borders toolbar) or by selecting None in
Format
: | Borders and Shading.
:
: Frame positioning is limited compared to text box layout but perfectly
: adequate for most purposes. You can choose to have it wrapped or not, and
: you can position it relative to the text to which it is anchored or to the
: page, margin, or column. (You can't format it as Behind Text or In Front
of
: Text, but you would rarely want to do that for a graphic and caption,
: anyway.) You can drag it with the mouse for rough positioning and then use
: Format Frame to fine-tune the position, experimenting to see the results
of
: the various settings. Note that you can also allow the size of the frame
to
: adjust automatically to its contents or be fixed at a certain dimension
: horizontally or vertically.
:
: If you decide you will use frames often, use Tools | Customize to put
Frame
: back on the Insert menu where it belongs. It was removed in Word 97 and in
: that version actually hidden in the Customize dialog under the pseudonym
: "Horizontal," but in later versions it appears in the Insert category as
: "Frame."
