How do you insert the frame in the margin?

If I draw a interactive frame on the second page, the frame jump to the first page. Probably because the anchor to paragraph default.
Comment 5 mc.wikipediano 2025-05-01 19:10:26 UTC
I created a frame style (with anchor to character) and then I copied a frame with that style in various positions.
Comment 6 Jussi Suominen 2025-05-30 13:38:18 UTC
With these steps I was able to "insert frames in the margin":

1. Add some long text that spans into two pages.
2. Select Insert | Frame | Frame... menu item. Change the Width (at least) and Height (at least) to 0,04 cm. Make sure that the AutoSize options are enabled. Enable the Position and Size option in the Protect section. Enable Mirror on even pages. Set the Horizontal position to Outside and to Inner page border and Vertical position to Bottom and to Line of text. Click OK. The frame is inserted in the margin.
3. You can insert additional frames in the margin by copying and pasting the frame you just inserted.
