MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Word 97 provides two type of containers for text: text boxes and
frames.
A text box is static: Its size does not change as you type additional text
inside the text box. Instead, the text wraps below the bottom of the
text box. The text below the bottom of the text box is not printed or
displayed in online layout view.
A frame is dynamic. In other words, the frame automatically grows to
accommodate additional text that you type inside the frame.
