Text frames allow you to display text, including tokens, on pages independently of rhythmic positions in flows.

You can open the text editor for individual frames in any of the following ways:

  • Select Frames in the Engrave toolbox, select the text frame, and press Return.

    Tip

    You can switch between selecting a frame handle and the whole frame by pressing Tab.

  • Double-click within the text frame.

Example

By default on the first page in part layouts, there are four text frames at the top of the page. These frames display the layout name, the project title, the project lyricist, and the project composer.

Note

Adding text frames to pages individually, and not on a page template, is considered a page template override, which is a type of page format change.
