Inserting frames
As you learned in the introduction to this chapter, pictures and other objects don’t
have to be inserted directly into the body text; they can be inserted in the form of
frames. Thus, for example, instead of inserting a picture directly into your
document, you can insert a picture frame.
The difference:
A frame occupies a fixed area on the page. As long as you don’t deliberately move
it, it remains always at a fixed position on the page. A frame does not move when
you enter or delete text above it.
