MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft Word 97 provides two type of containers for text: text boxes and frames.

A text box is static: Its size does not change as you type additional text inside the text box. Instead, the text wraps below the bottom of the text box. The text below the bottom of the text box is not printed or displayed in online layout view.

A frame is dynamic. In other words, the frame automatically grows to accommodate additional text that you type inside the frame.
