There are two ways to position a frame:
Moving a frame with the mouse
Click in a frame to make it active, so that the frame edges are visible.
Click on the frame edge so that the eight resize boxes appear on the frame.
Click anywhere on the frame edge, apart from the resize boxes, and drag the frame to a new location.
Note that you can drop the frame outside the margins.
Using the frames dialog
As well as being able to position a frame anywhere on the page, you can use the "Frames" page of the "Properties" dialog to set the position of a frame relative to the page, margin, column or current paragraph.
Click in a frame to make it active.
Right-click and select the Frames command from the shortcut menu (or select the Frames and Callouts command from the Format menu).
Horizontal. Set the distance in the Position box and then specify what you want the position to be relative to in the Relative To box (that is, the distance from the left edge of the frame):
Page - the distance is measured from the left edge of the paper.
Margin - the distance is measured from the left margin. If the margins are changed, the frame will automatically adjust its position to match.
Column - the distance between the current column and the frame. If the column is changed, the frame will automatically adjust its position to match.
Vertical. Set the distance in the Position box and then specify what you want the position to be relative to in the Relative To box (that is, the distance from the top edge of the frame:
Page - the distance is measured from the top edge of the paper.
Margin - the distance is measured from the top margin. If the margins are changed, the frame will automatically adjust its position to match.
Paragraph - the distance is measured from the start of the current paragraph. Use this setting if you want the frame to flow with the text.
