Hi Ronda,
InsertFrame over Tools/Customize/Keyboard, from the
category "All commands".

You should be able to assign a keyboard shortcut to
InsertFrame over Tools/Customize/Keyboard, from the
category "All commands".

Will that work? I would imagine that it would have the same effect as
clicking the Insert Frame button on the Forms toolbar or the Text Box button
on the Drawing toolbar, which just turns the mouse cursor to a + waiting for
me to draw the frame or text box. If I click with the mouse in the latter
case, a text box of default size will be inserted, but this still requires
use of the mouse, and in the case of the frame, nothing happens.
In another approach to a keyboard solution, I can get as far as Frame on the
Insert menu using ALT, I, F, F (the first F is Field), Enter, or to Text Box
with ALT, I, X, but this has the same results as clicking on the toolbar
buttons: mouse cursor changes to + and requires mouse input.

Hi Suzanne,
In that case, Ronda:
1. You could create an AutoText entry that contains a frame and insert that
via the keyboard, as required
2. You could make a frame part of a STYLE definition
3. You could use a macro that would insert a frame, and possibly display the
format dialog box immediately, so that you could quickly change position and
size
