<sect2 id="formula-move"><title>Moving a formula</title>
<para>By default, formula frames are created as <link linkend="definlineframe">inline</link> frames by default.  The formula frame
will move with the text as any other inline frame would.</para>
<para>If you want to have more control over where the formula is placed, you can convert it to a framed formula by clicking on the 
frame surrounding the formula with the &RMB;.  A submenu will appear.  Simply select <guilabel>Inline</guilabel> and the formula will 
now be a freely movable frame. </para>
<para>Once converted to a freely movable frame, you can <link linkend="move-frame">move the frame</link> 
just like any other frame in &kword;.</para>

<sect2 id="formula-delete"><title>Removing a formula</title>
