will open a new document with three frames. The frames are outlined on the white background, as gray boxes. Each box is a separate frame.

Tutorial: Selecting a frame and entering text into that frame
To begin entering text (or adding any sort of data for that matter), to a document, you must first let the computer know which frame to put the data in.
Step 4: Place the mouse cursor over the upper-left frame
Step 5: Click once with the left mouse button.

Step 7: Select KWord Press Release by placing the mouse cursor on the left end of the text. Click once with the left mouse button and drag the mouse cursor to the right. Selected text will be white text on dark background.

Step 8: Click inside the text size drop down box. Change this number to 36.

This changes the size of the text to one more appropriate for a title.

Tutorial: Changing the size of a frame
Now that we have entered some text, we can see that the frame is too large for the text.
Step 9: Place the mouse cursor over the frame border, and click once.
This will select this frame, so it can be re-shaped.
You will now notice the frame is outlined in black, with 8 black squares on the outline. These squares are used for re-sizing the frame.
Step 10: Place the mouse cursor over the black square in the lower right corner of the frame. Click with the left mouse button and hold it down. Drag the mouse up and to the left.
Screen shot
Notice how the frame changes shape. Adjust the size and shape of the frame until it looks like this:

When it does, release the mouse button.

Tutorial: Moving a frame on the page
Now that we have created a title block, we will center it at the top of the page.
Step 11: Place the mouse cursor over the border of the frame (but not on any of the black squares).
The cursor will now change to a 4 way arrow. This indicates is ready to move the frame on the page.
Step 12: Click and hold with the left mouse button. Drag the mouse, and the frame will follow it. Position the frame in the center of the page near the top. When you are satisfied with its final location, release the mouse button.

Tutorial: Adding a new frame/Making text flow between two frames
Step 13: Begin by selecting Insert Text Frame
Screen shot
The cursor has changed to cross-hairs. You can draw your new text box with this cursor. Start by placing the cursor at one corner. Click and hold the left mouse button. Drag the mouse diagonally. An outline will appear which represents your new text frame. When you have a text frame of reasonable size, release the left mouse button.
Screen shot
It is not important if your text box does not resemble the example for the purposes of this tutorial.
When you release the left mouse button, a new dialog box appears.
Screen shot
This dialog box lists all the current frame sets. The default value is highlighted. By selecting the default value, you will create a new frame set (text will not flow from any other frame into this frame)
Step 14: For the purposes of this tutorial, select Frameset 2
Screen shot
Step 15: Select OK
Screen shot
What you have just done, is connect frameset 2 to your new text frame. To test this:
Step 16: Click once inside the new frame.
Screen shot
Notice that your cursor immediately jumps to the frame below the newly created text frame. That is because that lower left frame is the first frame in the current frameset.
Step 17: Begin typing. You will need to type quite a bit, but keep typing. When you run out of space in the text frame, you will see your new text is moved immediately into your new text frame.

Tutorial: Deleting a frame
Now we will delete an unneeded frame. (Yes I know, we just created a new frame, but will forgive you being fickle). We will delete the long text frame on the right side of the page.
Step 18: Place the mouse cursor over the frame border of the right hand text frame, and click with the left mouse button.
Screen shot
This selects the frame.
Step 19: Select Frames Delete Frame
