1. Click the section type of interest in the
Collection Tree.
The form for the section type appears in the
right frame.
2. Right-click the frame of the box that is to be
adjacent to the new box you are adding.
The box menu appears.
3. Select a menu option to add a new box to the
form.
In this example we are selecting Insert Box
Above to add a box above the Metadata
Properties box.
NOTE: The orientation of a box is determined by the
orientation of its container. For example, say that Insert
Box Above and Insert Box Below are menu options for
Box X. Then, you insert Box Y within Box X, by using the
Insert Box Within command. The menu options for Box Y
will include Insert Box to the Right and Insert Box to the
Left. If you inserted Box Z into Box Y, the menu options for
Box Z would include Insert Box Above and Insert Box
Below. By default, the orientation of the container box is
opposite the orientation of the contained box.
