Re: Updating figure numbers in anchored frames

[Dan Emory <danemory@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The solution is to stop putting figure titles with autonumbers in text 
boxes within anchored frames. If you want to put separate figures 
side-by-side, put the anchored frames into adjacent table cells of a 1-row, 
2-column, unruled, untitled table.

Graphics should never be anchored to paragraphs containing text. They 
should always be anchored to an empty paragraph having a special tag with 
an appropriate tag (e.g., GraphicAnchor). This paragraph format establishes 
the space above. The Next Paragraph setting for this tag should be 
FigureTitle, (whose format specifies Keep With Previous, the Space 
Above/Below and autonumbering format) that appears below the anchored 
frame. Consequently, the empty anchor paragraph, the anchored frame, and 
the figure title will always appear on the same page, and the spacing 
above/below the anchored frame and the space below the figure title will 
always be consistent.
