Frame Bar

When a frame is selected, the Frame Bar provides the most important functions for formatting and positioning the frame.

Set Paragraph Style

Assigns a style to the current paragraph, selected paragraphs, or to a selected object.

Wrap Off

Places the object on a separate line in the document. The Text in the document appears above and below the object, but not on the sides of the object.

You can also choose this setting on the Wrap tab page.

Wrap On

Wraps text on all four sides of the border frame of the object.

This icon represents the Page Wrap option on the Wrap tab page.

Wrap Through

Places the object in front of the text.

You can also define this setting on the Wrap tab page.

Align Left
