SYMPTOMS
When you indent text within a frame, Microsoft Word also indents the frame
border.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use either of the following methods.
Method 1: Use a Text Box
To insert a text box, follow these steps:
- On the Tools menu, click Customize, and then click the Toolbars tab
(Word 98 Macintosh Edition). Or, on the Tools menu, click Toolbars
(Word 7.0 and earlier).
- Click to select the Drawing check box, and then click Close. (Click OK
in Word 7.0 and earlier versions.) You should now see a Drawing toolbar
(usually at the bottom of your screen).
- Click to select the Text Box button on the Drawing toolbar, and then
click and drag in your document to draw a text box.
- Type and indent the text you want in the text box.
Method 2: Use a Table Inside the Frame
- After you create your frame, insert a one row, one column table.
- Specify an indent for the cell paragraph.
- Type the text you want inside the framed table cell.
