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...

The borders in your illustrations do not appear to be connected to the text
box, but are more likely to be paragraph border -

If not, please explain the steps you used to create the text box and the
border.

This is before I knew about Frames!
Insert-Text Box-Simple Text Box.
Cursor changes to "cross", Right-click, format text Box. On the Text Box
tab, click "Convert to Frame".
Interestingly, when I do that in a new document, the behaviour is as you
describe it should be....

Asking a question?
Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about,
your OS, Service Pack level
and the FULL contents of any error message(s)

Fair enough, but that won't add a border to the text box that matches your
illustration.?

Curiosity aroused - can you e-mail me a copy of a document containing the
text box in question to the link on the home page of my web site?

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.
