# 4.5. Adding a new frame/Making text flow between two frames

Step 14: Begin by selecting Tools->Create Text Frame

The cursor will now change to cross-hairs. You can now "draw" your new text box. 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.

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.

This dialog box lists all the current framesets. The default value is highlighted. By selecting the default value, you will create a new framset (text will not flow from any other frame into this frame)

Step 15: For the purposes of this tutorial, select "Frameset 2"

Step 16: Select "OK"

What you have just done, is connect frameset 2 to your new text frame. To test this:

Step 17: Select Tools->Edit Text

Step 18: Click once inside the new frame. You will notice the cursor is placed in the lower left frame (Frameset 2).

Step 19: 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 immediatly into your new text frame.
