A frame-oriented word processor places text and other objects inside of movable, re-sizable boundaries known as ''frames''. If you create a default blank page a single frame is created, set to the margins of the page. You can add as many frames as you like and place them wherever they need to go. You can also connect two frames so that when the text overruns the first frame it flows into the second. The frame-oriented approach provides great flexibility of layout. | A frame-oriented word processor places text and other objects inside of movable, re-sizable boundaries known as ''frames''.

Frame-Oriented Word Processing
If you've been using Microsoft Word, Wordperfect, or OpenOffice.org you've become accustomed to page-oriented word processing. Kword is a frame-oriented word processor, which means a great deal more flexibility when it comes to modern content-based document creation. Documents rarely consist of just text anymore; they're more likely to contain a combination of text and objects such as pictures, charts, and graphs.
