To insert a picture frame, for example, you do the following:
1. Invoke the Object > New Picture Frame command.
2. Click and hold the mouse while you drag it to create a frame with the desired
position and size.
Alternatively, you can simply click in the document at the place where you
want the upper left corner of the picture to be positioned. The size of the frame
will then be adjusted automatically to match the original size of the picture.
3. A dialog appears, letting you select the picture that you want to be displayed in
the frame. Choose the desired picture file and confirm with OK.
The picture frame is inserted.
The process for inserting other types of frames is similar. You will find detailed
information about the individual kinds of frames in the sections “Text frames”,
“Picture frames” etc. (beginning on page 254).
Selecting objects
Before you can edit an object you must first select it. To do this, simply click on
the desired object. A red frame will appear around the object to indicate that it is
now selected.
Note: This does not work with text fields, text frames and other objects that have
transparent fills. To select such an object you can click on its border, if it has one.
Otherwise, you must switch to Object mode (see the next section). There, you
can select any kind of object with a simple click of the mouse.
You cannot modify the normal text while an object is selected; only the selected
object can be edited. When you want to return to the text to continue editing it,
simply click with the mouse at the desired position in the text. This action will
deselect the object.
Object mode
Object mode provides the simplest way to work with frames, drawings and all
other objects.
Normally, you work with TextMaker in Edit mode. In this mode you can enter, edit,
format, etc. text.
