AutoShapes property sheet
A text frame is actually an AutoShape that has been filled with text. AutoShapes are
drawings with a pre-defined shape (for example, rectangles, arrows, banners,
callouts, etc.).
By default, the AutoShape used for text frames is a simple rectangle. To use a
different shape, select it on the AutoShapes property sheet.
Note: Text frames have no border lines by default. Therefore, when you select a
different AutoShape here, the shape will not be visible until you add border lines.
To do this, select the line style of your choice on the Lines property sheet.
To learn more about AutoShapes, refer to the section “Drawings” (page 265).
Linking text frames
With TextMaker you can let text flow through multiple text frames that are linked
together – just as you could with a desktop publishing program. If two frames are
linked, text that exceeds the limits of the first frame is automatically continued in
the second frame.
Let’s assume that you have created two text frames on one page and that you want
text to flow from one to the next. You would link these frames as follows:
