RE: Why is the Edit Frame button grayed out

[Fred Ridder]

A graphic and the frame that contains a graphic are separate entities with 
separate properties and separate sets of possible operations. A frame can be 
positioned relative to the page, in a fixed relation to an anchor in the text 
flow, or allowed to float relative to its anchor. A framed graphic is 
positioned relative to the frame that contains it.

Okay, I have something else that isn't working as advertised. I just went 
through a lesson that involved the use of the Anchor frame option. I had 
trouble getting it to display on the screen as well, but I figured that out 
this time. I tried to change the position of the frame to Run into paragraph, 
but the Edit Frame button was greyed out so I could;t implement the change. 
Why would the button be grayed out? One possibility would be that the graphic I 
thought was selected was not in fact selected, but I'm pretty sure it was. What 
other reasons might there be for this? Thanks.

Hi David,

As Fred points out, the frame and the graphic within it are two 
different things. To select the graphic, click anywhere on it; to select 
the frame, click just outside it, very close to the border (The pointer 
will change from the I-bar to an arrow when it's close enough).


And make sure you always work with borders and text symbols visible -- 
life is easier.


HTH,
