InsertFrame

Syntax

InsertFrame

Remarks

Inserts an empty frame, or frames the selected text, graphic, or both. If there is no selection, Word inserts a 1-inch – square frame at the insertion point (the frame appears as a square in page layout view). You can change the dimensions of the frame with FormatFrame.

Example

This example inserts a frame and then positions it in the margin to the left of the current paragraph, so the user can type a margin note in it. If the active document is not in page layout view, Word displays a message box asking if the user wants to switch to page layout view.
