Field Palette
The Frame Editor provides a palette of icons that you can use to add fields to your form. It also contains the necessary tools for manipulating these fields:

• The Select Mode icon to select fields on the form
• The Free Trim and Box Trim icons to enter and edit text, such as titles and field labels
