Question on Frames

I don't quite follow the "there's a large(ish) margin between the top of the text box and the top of the frame" bit. If you have converted the Text Box to a Frame, why is there still a text box? I've experimented in W2007 and if I create a text box and format it exactly 5 x 5 and then use the Convert to Frame command, it creates a Frame 5 X 5. But resizing a Frame is the same as resizing a Text Box: right-click the edge of the Text Box or Frame and select Format Text Box or Frame. I've put some pictures up on Skydrive - check your msn email for the url. The one called Text box is what I see in the document - the one called Frame is what I see when I click in the frame. If I re-size the frame, then the black outline re-sizes with it.....which is not what I want to happen! I want to re-size the frame to the size of the black outline... |

Question on Frames
I think the issue is that frames have borders and text boxes have "lines."
The text *in* the text box can have a border; when the text box is converted to a frame, that border might well be applied to the frame since the frame is also part of the paragraph formatting. -- Suzanne S.
