HOW TO INSERT FRAME

There are many ways of creating a frame. We will only learn one. To create a
frame, you first need to open a file. It can be new or an existing one.
After this, you need to go to the Insert menu, HTML, and Frames. Through
this option you can select the type of frame you want to create.
We are going to look at the Left frame option.
If we click on Left, a new frame will be created in the left side of the current
file.
As you can see in the image, there is a line splitting the document.
In this case we will have three files: the left one, the right one, and the one
which has the set of frames. The right one is the file we had at the start. It is in
the frame known as Main Frame.
To select the file that has the set of
frames you have to click on the line
that splits the frames. This is only
possible in case of not having been
previously saved.
