Specify an ID for the layout frame here. When you create a new layout frame, an ID that does not duplicate that of any existing layout frames within the document is automatically allocated.
Hint If a specified ID duplicates that of another layout frame, or if an invalid character string is specified for the ID, an asterisk ('*') will be appended to the ID display in the list box in the lower [Stack Level] group.
Caution! A valid character string for the ID begins with an alphabetic character (A-Z or a-z), followed by numbers (0-9), a hyphen ("-"), underline ("_"), colon (":"), or period (".").
