filled background in text frame

This Wiki

https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/26366/how-to-place-a-filled-background-in-a-text-frame-with-place-note

does not seem to work for me.

When creating a region the text frame is not recognized as an object to create a region.

Is there a setting stopping me from doing this?
