Do you know of a way for me to work with frames in Word 2007? Maybe a page
with a tutorial. It seems when I search it I can only find 2003 stuff, but
the interface is so different that I can't do what I need to.

In 2003 I could do frames like a champ. In 2007, I've added a few custom
buttons to the ribbon, one that is labelled add a frame, but it doesnt' put
in a frame like I'm used to in 2003. Any ideas? I don't want this text box
business, I want a proper frame. If I tell it to add a table of contents in
a frame, I get a frame (vertical split) and I can delete the TOC...but how to
get horizontal frames. I must be missing something

The command you need to add to the QAT is not 'Add a frame' or 'frame' but
'Insert Frame', which works as it did in Word 2003.

You can still use the commands from previous versions of Word. Click the
Office button, and then click Word Options. Click the Customize category.
For "Choose commands from," select "All commands." Locate the New Frame
Above, New Frame Below, New Frame Left, and New Frame Right commands and add
them to the Quick Access Toolbar.
