Every object on document canvas will have a frame, a 'Text frame' is
specifically for managing text layout and can contain other objects. Images,
shapes, OLE objects, tables inserted into a 'Text frame' will still be listed
separately in Navigator. The 'Text frame' is the container, but its function is
to control flow of textual content in the layout--objects other than text will
flow in text along with their anchors.  Linking 'Text frames' is the way we
layout the text on a page.

Maybe because I come from a Framemaker DTP background that just seems more
natural handlig of 'Text frames'.

The 'frame' holding an image, holding a table, holding an OLE object, holding a
Draw object (including a "Text box") is not exposed in Navigator.
