Page Layout
The Right master page contains three text frames.
A.
Template text frame
B.
Background text frames
2
Click in the large text frame. This is a
template text frame,
which provides the layout for
the text frames in which you type on body pages.
The left side of the Tag area in the status bar shows you the
flow tag
—the name of the text
flow that the text frame belongs to.
The flow tag is A.
Most documents contain one main text flow that runs from the first page to the last. The
flow is usually tagged A. When text fills a body page, FrameMaker 7.0 adds a page
automatically, copies the template text frame to the body page from the appropriate
master page, and continues the text on the new page.
3
Click in the small text frame at the top of the page. This text frame and the small text frame
at the bottom of the page are used for the headers and footers that appear on body pages.
The status bar doesn’t contain a flow tag, indicating that the text flow for this text frame
is
untagged
.
