Apple AppleWorks 5 : Windows 95/NT 4.0 - Manual (Page 51)

Basics 3-9
Working with frames
In AppleWorks, you can add different types of information (spreadsheet
data, text, and paint images) to the same document. These different types of
information are stored in special objects called frames. A frame is an object
that acts like a window to another type of document. You can draw frames
in every type of document.
To create a frame, click to select a frame tool in the tool panel, position the
pointer over the page, and then hold down the mouse button and drag the
pointer until the frame is the size you want. You can now work in the frame,
and you see the appropriate menu commands for that frame (for example,
you see spreadsheet commands when you work in a spreadsheet frame).
Tip Look in the status bar at the bottom of the application window for the
two-letter code (WP for word processing, DR for drawing, and so on) that
tells you which commands are currently available. You can also click the
right mouse button to see a menu of appropriate commands.
