3. Working with frames

This section of the documentation explains how frames work in Sophie. Frames are the way in which text and media are represented on the pages of Sophie books.

In this release of Sophie 2, frames can be added to a page by choosing any of the options from the Insert menu. For most of the options in that menu, you will be asked to select the file you wish to add. (See the section on working with media for more information on this.) When this is done, a frame is added to the current Sophie page. If resources have already been imported to Sophie (using the Insert menu or using the import options in the resources tab), they can be dragged from the resources tab to the page to create a frame containing the resource. Multiple frames can be added to a page.

Selecting a frame will reveal the frame halos. In the right of the frame's title bar is the delete halo; clicking this will delete the frame from the page.
