Can you explain the difference between grouping objects as a frame, or as a group?

Thanks, Linda

Linda --

Create a small Image Object, set it for "Scale To Fit" , then Duplicate it three times. Position them into two groups.

Highlight both of the first two, then right mouse click and select "Group." Next highlight the last two Objects, right mouse click and select "Group as Frame."

We have previously had "Frame" as an OPUS feature. Once you Insert Objects into a Frame you can move them together on the Page, but you can't change their SIZE. Grab a corner of the GROUP and you can make all the Objects smaller at the same time. If you grab a corner of the GROUP FRAME and try to change the size, you'll find you can increase the Frame to larger than the two Objects, but you can't make it smaller, nor can you change the SIZE of the Objects together.

Hope that helps you understand the difference. I still primarily use just the FRAME feature ("Old dogs --> New tricks, etc...)
