This is mentioned in the **** footnote to the comparison table on my page.
?? Created a Text Box. Right Clicked on Text Box to Access the "Format AutoShape/Picture" which opens a window named "Format Text Box". In that window, select the Tab named "Text Box". A button there is named "Convert to Frame"
