Reminder: When selected, a frame is like any other graphic item. You can fill it with color, place a border around it with the pen color, or rotate it in any direction. The options described in this section apply only to spreadsheet frames. |
You can create a spreadsheet frame in any document type, including within a full-page spreadsheet document. If you place a spreadsheet frame in a full-screen spreadsheet document, the frame "floats above" the cells in the full-screen document. You might want to consider using layers to organize your frames. See the topic, Views and Layers for more information.
There are essentially two methods for creating a new spreadsheet frame, both of which are described below. In addition, you can always copy or cut a frame from one document or sheet to another.
Method One
Method Two
If you need an exact duplicate of a spreadsheet frame, cloning is the solution.
Cloned frames are not linked to the original frame set. Moreover, when you clone one frame from a frame set, all the text in the original frame set is transferred to the new, cloned frame.
Spreadsheet frames can be configured to display scroll bars if desired.
The Open Frame feature allows you to select any frame in your document and open the contents of that frame into a separate window. This can be useful if you need to edit the contents of a particularly large frame.

NOTE: The new document created when you open a frame is only for editing the contents of the frame. You will not be able to add other frames to the document, this includes graphic items. |
When finished editing the contents of the open frame document close the window. You can save the contents of the frame to another document file if necessary.
