This chart has bullet points rather than numbers because I do not know which features are important to you. To me, the most important advantages of Frames are 1 the ability of Frames to be part of a Style definition and 2 the ability of Frames to usefully hold certain fields that don't work well in Textboxes.
The most important advantages of Textboxes are 1 beginning with Word Textboxes can be rotated with their text and 2 Textboxes can float in front of or behind text. For many users, the most important feature of Textboxes is that they can be linked. I have used Textboxes much more than I have Frames. For many purposes, though, Frames are preferable to Textboxes because Frames are not in a separate layer from the rest of your document.
Textboxes are in the graphics layer. That means that other features in Word can more easily see the contents in Frames. See the comparison below. Re-Position Frame or Textbox.
Frames as Sidebars - Marginal Text. Let's start with a listing some of the attributes of each. As you can see, they share a number of attributes. I have used Italics to highlight differences where the attributes are different.
The words "Textbox" and "Frame" are capitalized in this page. In Word and later you can rotate a Textbox degrees including its text. In Word use the control on the Tables and Borders Toolbar. In Ribbon versions, add the control to the QAT. These will work on text in the frame. At least as far as Word , a TC field can be created, with some difficulty, in a Textbox, but will not be picked up in a Table of Contents. Given that, I can't imagine any reason to put the field in the Textbox.
I'm not sure what the utility of such a TOC would be, though. Note that a Table of Contents generated using Headings reflects not only page numbers but also relative positions.
The position of a Textbox is its graphic "Anchor" which may be somewhere different from the place the Textbox appears on the page. Thus, a Textbox-enclosed heading could appear out of order. A field in a Textbox may not be selected for updating when one in a Frame would. They cannot be converted to Frames. The only practical way to convert a Text Box in one of the later versions of Word to a Frame is to save in. Then convert. Their comments helped keep me on track. Any errors, though, are mine alone.
Frames are used as the method for positioning Addresses on Envelopes by Word all versions. See Change Envelope Layout on Graham Mayor's site for more about these envelope styles and the Frame incorporated therein. Frames are not intuitively created in the Ribbon versions of Word Word and later. In those versions, one simple user interface control for them is in the legacy form tools on the Developer Tab. The screenshots below are of the control to insert a frame on the Developer Tab in Word and Clicking on the Insert Frame button will change your mouse pointer into a cross and let you draw the frame where you wish.
By default, it will be inserted with a border and filled. You can make changes to any Frame by right-clicking on the edge to get a contextual menu. This includes both the Frame and the Checkbox control and gives you the Lock button. It is one of the formatting options. This is less intuitive but gives more control. This is the same dialog you get when you right-click on the edge of a Frame and select "Format Frame" except that it is in the context of modifying or creating a Style definition.
Text Direction Changing Text Direction in a Frame To change text direction in a Frame in Word , use the control on the Tables and Borders toolbar while you have the insertion point inside the Frame. Then use it from there. Textboxes bring with them tools for text direction change. In Word a Textbox Toolbar pops up when you are in a Textbox. In Word and later, a special ribbon tab appears. In Word there is a separate context tab, in later versions the Drawing Tools tab is displayed with the Text group active.
