Can anyone explain what is the difference between a text box and a frame.?

When I right-click on a text box I am invited to convert to a frame. Why ?

Thanks for your help.

If you are getting this command on your context menu, it is because someone
has added it, since it does not normally appear on the context menu when you
right-click either inside a text box or on its border. Some reasons you
might want to convert it to a frame include being able to view it in Normal
view or allowing Word to see text in it for purposes of cross-references,
building a TOC, etc. For more, see “WD2000: General Information About
Floating Objects” at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=268713
