To insert a text frame, proceed as follows:
| 1. | Choose the ribbon command Insert | group Objects | Text frame  . |
| 2. | The text frame is now inserted. |
| You can then move or resize the text frame: |
| Important: Click with the mouse on the border of the text frame in order to move it. While still holding the mouse button down, drag the text frame to the desired position. |
| To resize the text frame, drag one of the round handles surrounding it. |
The text frame is now created, and you can start entering text in it immediately.
Important: If a red bar* is displayed at the bottom margin of a text frame, this indicates that the text does not fit completely into the frame. In this case, you must either enlarge the frame or reduce the amount of text.
* The red bar appears only if the option Overflow mark is enabled on the "View" tab of the dialog box of the command File | Options. For Object properties on the "Format" tab, the defined limit specified by the options Fixed or Growing (Max value) for the Height must be reached.
To move from a text frame back to the normal body text, click anywhere in the body text. Conversely, you move from the body text back to the text frame by clicking into the frame.
Text frames are allowed to easily cover existing text – this is then automatically wrapped in such a way that it flows around the frame.
