RE: Anchored Frame, distance down from anchor

[Dan Emory <danemory@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I inadvertantly omitted the Keep With parameters. Below is a corrected
version of my previous post, in which KEEP WITH has been added at the
appropriate points
=====================================================
The exceptions, of course, are if the Anchored Frame option being used is At
Insertion Point or Run Into Paragraph. But when you're using the Below
Paragraph option, anchoring the anchored frame to a text paragraph prevents
you from being able to control the space above/below the anchored frame. Also:

1. There is always the danger that the anchoring point in a text paragraph
is not at the end (e.g., if someone later types in text after the anchoring
point).

2. There is also the danger that, while deleting text from a paragraph, the
anchored frame or table will allso get deleted.

3. If the anchored frame or table is anchored to a text paragraph, and the
anchored object causes a page overflow, it pulls all or part (depending on
widow/orphan and KEEP WITH settings) of the anchoring text paragraph with
it. If, on the other hand, you use a separate tag named Anchor (typically
set to the minimum font size of 2 pts), the widow/orphan and KEEP WITH
settings in the Anchor paragraph determine whether the paragraph above is
pulled with the table or graphic to the next page.

In summary, anchoring graphics and tables to an empty Anchor paragraph tag
properties provides maximum control over the areas above and below the
object, and also safeguards the object from inadvertent editing actions
performed on text. I know of no disadvantage to using this approach.
