Is there a way to have a text frame within a text frame without making it an anchored (Inline) object in InDesign CS2?

Thanks.

...inline or anchored text frames in text frames (created by edit > paste) are the standard way to achieve it and really the only way...

...the only alternative is to create a text wrap around the text frame positioned above the other frame. This method isn't inline or anchored however...

...struggling to understand what it is you are trying to achieve if anchoring or inline isn't adequate, can you give more detail on what result you are really looking to get?

I am working on a newsletter that of course has text and graphics (the text was copied using copy paste from another document and the graphics were placed-using File,Place). I am looking to put a small box under existing text and place text in that small box. The problem is that when the box is moved into the newsletter the text is not displayed. I did try the suggestions that you mentioned and they worked but just wanted to know if there were other options just in case I wanted to move the box around and not have it anchored.

Thanks.
