## Designing with frames

The easiest way to create a frame-based page in Freeway is to select from a range of predefined layouts. A new frameset page will be created in your document, together with a blank page to contain the content for each of the frames.

Alternatively you can convert any page in a Freeway document into a frameset page with two or more frames using the Split Horizontal or Split Vertical commands.

#### To create a predefined frameset page

- Open the Page menu and choose New Frameset... from the Frames submenu.

The New Frameset dialog box shows 16 alternative predefined frame layouts:

- Choose a title for the frameset page.
- Choose the master to use for the frameset page, and a border width.
- Click the picture corresponding to the frame layout you want to use.

If you want to create a page for each of the frames in the New Frameset page:

- Select Create Pages for Frames.
- Choose the master you want to use for these pages from the Master pop-up menu.
- Click the OK button to create the frameset you have specified.

For example, if you created a frameset with a top navigation bar, a left-hand bar, and main area, Freeway will create a frameset page with a frameset icon and three contents pages called upper, left, and main:
