The 'Text' toolbar provides tools such as text-sequencing operations for use with text frames. When a text is larger than one frame can display, the remaining text may be shown in another frame. This sort of text-sharing is called 'frame sequencing'. In a frame sequence each frame constitutes a link; the order of these links determines how text will flow. A sequence may contain frames from different pages, as long as they are from the same document; empty frames may also be linked.

Screen shot: Text Toolbar

First Section of the Toolbar:

• This button opens the text editor in order to create or modify text in a frame. A single frame, empty or containing text, must be selected in the display screen of the active document in order to access this button.
   

Second Section of the Toolbar:

• The first button adds a frame to the end of a sequence. To do so, simply:
   
  1. Click on a sequence (or on an empty frame if the sequence will be without text).
      
  2. Click on the empty frame to be added.
      
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2, or click on the right mouse button to end sequencing.
      

  The cursor takes on the shape of a "do not enter" sign when pointed at inaccessible frames. The user may change pages between steps one and two; the added frame then becomes the last link in the chain.
  Example: if X is the frame to be joined and 1-2-3-4 a sequence of four frames, clicking on 2 and then on X will result in the sequence 1-2-3-4-X.
   

• The second button inserts a frame at the beginning of a sequence. The mode of operation is otherwise the same as the preceding button, however the added frame becomes the first link of the chain.
  Example: if X is the frame to be joined and 1-2-3-4 a sequence of four frames, clicking on 2 and then on X will result in the sequence X-1-2-3-4.
   
• The third button inserts a frame into a sequence before a particular link. To do so, simply:
   
  1. Click on the empty frame to be inserted.
      
  2. Click on the sequenced frame in front of which the new frame is to be inserted.
      
  3. Repeat steps one and two or click on the right mouse button to end sequencing.
      

  The cursor takes on the shape of a "do not enter" sign when pointed at inaccessible frames. The user may change pages between steps one and two.
  Example: if X is the frame to be joined and 1-2-3-4 a sequence of four frames, clicking on X and then on 2 will result in the sequence 1-X-2-3-4.
   

• The fourth button inserts a frame into a sequence after a particular link. The mode of operation is otherwise the same as the preceding button.
  Example: if X is the frame to be joined and 1-2-3-4 a sequence of four frames, clicking on X and then on 2 will result in the sequence 1-2-X-3-4.
   
• The last button removes a linked frame from a sequence. Only one frame may be selected when pushing this button; the frame removed from the sequence becomes an empty frame.
