For example, you can use the Arrange commands to position the frame on a page. m When you enter a frame (by double-clicking it), the menus and tools change to those that you need for working in that type of frame. Frames are not the only way to integrate different kinds of content. See AppleWorks Help for details on how to draw in any document type; insert images, documents, and other types of files; use clip art (and more) from the Clippings window; and insert sounds and movies. Many of the examples in this book use frames, including: m "Brochure" on page 40 (includes text frames) m "Business Cards" on page 42 (includes painting frames) m "School Report" on page 62 (includes spreadsheet and table frames) For details on creating and working with frames, see "Integrating different kinds of content in a document (frames)" in AppleWorks Help.
