Rev. Harding has indeed mentioned one way to handle the multiple draw
frames Jeremy Nicoll wants for multiple frames. Maybe the following
solution gives more freedom.
Open the Master page and set the default master page sizes such that
along some side you have only an outside margin of 1mm (or less) left.
Now select the Frame Tool and create a frame on this master page such
that you maintain a blank space between the outside of the newly
created frame and the inside of the default master page. Close the
master page and check that you can position the caret between frame
border and page border.
Now, if you press Ctrl-Enter (in windoze) or Ctrl-P (in RiscOS) in
that blank space a new page is created, of course every time with a
picture frame. This way you create new pages with pictures as you need
them.
As Rev. Harding states you can have more than one frame. As an idea
add a smaller frame attached to the created frame on the Master Page.
You can then add some text next/under/above the picture. As long as
the created frames on the Master Pages are empty you are free to enter
text or picture.
