+<h3>Insert > Frames...</h3>
+<p>This is a special method for creating text or image frames, which adds the ability to create one or multiple frames with predetermined features, and even predetermined content.</p>
+<p><img src="images/insertframes.png"><img src="images/insertframes1.png"></p>
+<p>The <b>Location</b> tab is identical for both types of frame, giving these choices for how many pages should get the new frame, and specifications for position.</p>
+<p><img src="images/insertframes2.png"></p>
+<p>The <b>Size</b> tab is almost identical for each, with the only difference being an additional choice for image frames dependent on the size of the image, as seen here.</p>
+<img src="images/insertframes3.png"></p>
+<p><b>Options</b> for text frames are several, allowing for creating columns with adjustable gap, linking frames if there are more than one, or even linking from and already existing frame.<br />The <b>Source Document</b> can be any of the types of text files that Scribus can import.</p>
+
+<p><img src="images/insertframes4.png"></p>
+<p>With image frames, your only choice under <b>Options</b> will be the <b>Source Image</b> for your frames. There is only one image file which you can choose, so if you are creating multiple frames, they will all have the same content.<br />Something else to remember is that unless you have set image frames to automatically adjust image to frame (this is in Preferences > Item Tools > Images), this may need to be adjusted frame by frame after creation.</p>
 <h3>Shift-Click Frame Creation</h3>
 <p>There is also a useful timesaving feature by holding down <b>Shift</b> while left-clicking on the page (after you have clicked the appropriate tool on the toolbar, or used the corresponding keyboard shortcut). This will create a frame filling to the borders of the space in which you click. These borders might be the margins if there are no guides, but if there are guides, the frame will fill to the nearest margin or guide in all four directions. The grid has no impact on this sort of frame creation. Check to see what happens when you click outside the margins.</p>
