As you learned in the introduction to this chapter, pictures and other objects can be inserted both directly into the body text as well as in the form of frames. Thus, you can also use picture frames, for example, in addition to pictures.
The difference:
A frame occupies a fixed position on the page. As long as you don't deliberately move it, it will always remain in its fixed position on the page. A frame does not move even if you enter or delete text above it.
To insert a picture frame, for example, perform the following steps:
| 1. | On the ribbon tab Insert | group Objects | Picture  , click on the arrow of the icon. In the dropdown menu, enable the checkbox Insert as frame. |
| 2. | A dialog box appears. Select the desired picture file and confirm with OK. |
| 3. | The picture frame is now inserted. |
| You can then move or resize the frame: |
| To move it, click on the picture frame with the mouse, and then drag it (while still holding down the mouse button) to the desired position. |
| To adjust its size, drag one of the round handles surrounding the frame. |
The process for inserting other types of frames is similar.
Note: As soon as you have inserted an object, an additional contextual ribbon tab Object (or picture, chart, etc.) will appear on the far right and will enable you to conveniently edit the object properties via the corresponding buttons.
For more information on the different types of frames and how to adjust their properties, see Text frames, Picture frames, etc.
