# Add a new Text Frame to a Page

| **Tip:** With the **"Text" Tab** open and no other **Frame** selected, you can also draw a **Frame** anywhere on the **Page**. Printess will automatically create a new **Multi Line Text Frame** within the drawn **Frame**. You could then **Make a Multi Line Text Frame a Single Line Text Frame**.

1. Without any **Frame** selected, go to the **"Text" Tab** on the **Feature Panel**.
2. Choose the [Text Type](#3-text-types) you want to add from the list (all **Text Types** explained [here](#3-text-types)).
3. Click on the [Text Type](#3-text-types) you want to add to the **Page**.

|| **Info:** Printess will always place the new **Text Frame** at the **Top** **Left** corner of your **Page** with a 5% **Margin**. New **Text Frames** will always have a **Width** of 50% the **Width** of the **Page**. You can then **Change the Size** and the **Position** of the **Frame**.
