SYMPTOMS
When you indent text within a frame, Microsoft Word also indents the frame border.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use either of the following methods.

Method 1: Use a Text Box
To insert a text box, follow these steps:


 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Customize, and then click the Toolbars tab (Word 98 Macintosh Edition). Or, on the Tools menu, click Toolbars (Word 7.0 and earlier).
 * 2) Click to select the Drawing check box, and then click Close. (Click OK in Word 7.0 and earlier versions.) You should now see a Drawing toolbar (usually at the bottom of your screen).
 * 3) Click to select the Text Box button on the Drawing toolbar, and then click and drag in your document to draw a text box.
 * 4) Type and indent the text you want in the text box.

Method 2: Use a Table Inside the Frame

 * 1) After you create your frame, insert a one row, one column table.
 * 2) Specify an indent for the cell paragraph.
 * 3) Type the text you want inside the framed table cell.
