Directions for creating Frames in MS Word
1. Open a new MS Word document and click on Fromat
then Frames then click on New Frames Page.
2. A New Frames Page (Blank MS Word) document will
appear
and a Frames Toolbar will
appear on the screen.
3. A Good idea is to create the classic set of
frames (my example) which is
a
small frame at top left corner with a small vertical frame beneath it
then
a large narrow frame across the top and a large square frame below.
4. Click
option for a New Frame Left
and a border will appear
in the middle of the page
to click & drag it to
the left.
5. Make sure your cursor is in the small
vertical frame on the left side
6. Click option for a New Frame Above and
a border will appear
in the middle of the small
vertical border
so click & drag it to
top left.
7. Make sure your cursor is in the large square
frame in the middle of the page
8. Click on the option for a New Frame Above and a border will appear
in
the middle of the large border thus click & drag border
to line up with the small
horizontal border on the left.
9. Now, save this page for later inclusion of the
backgrounds and links…
Maybe
a name like MainPage would be appropriate….
10 Now, to create the pages to fill in the four
frames created in the Main Page.
11. It would be a good idea to have this mainpage and
all frame pages below
in
a single folder to easily include into each specific frame on the
mainpage.
12. Thus, create a blank MS Word document and to
keep it simple

Format then Background then a light color.
13. Type a Heading for the links, Categories center it at top of page
then
save this page as topleft since that is where it goes.
