So how do you tell the difference between an HTML and Creative frame?
Simply, HTML frames will always possess dark blue corner/edge handles when
selected, while a Creative frame's handles will show as gray.
Creating frames
You add frames to a page as you would any other object. You can select, move,
and resize any frame, but you cannot alter its basic shape.
To create a frame:
1. Click either the HTML Frame Tool or the Creative
Frame Tool button from the Text Frames flyout on the Standard
Objects toolbar.
2. Click on the page or pasteboard to create a new frame at a default size.
OR
Drag out to place the text frame at your chosen dimensions.
