RE: Anchored Frames

["Ridder, Fred" <fred.ridder@xxxxxxxxx>]

That's one solution. But I think a better approach is to use the 
"At Insertion Point" anchor postion rather than the default "Below 
Current Line" positioning. This places the paragraph mark *after*
the frame so that there is no open line of any height above the 
frame itself. If you do use this technique, though, you must make
sure that the paragraph that holds the anchor is *not* set for fixed
line spacing because it must expand the height line that holds the 
anchor spacing to allow room for the graphic.

Another thing you may or may not have noticed is that even if
the anchored frame is right at the top of the text column, there is
still some white space between the edges of the graphic itself and
the edges of the anchored frame that contains it. FrameMaker
automatically adds this default "pad" whenever it creates an 
anchored frame to contain an imported graphic file. The easiest 
way to get rid of this pad is to use the "shrink-wrap" command
(press Escape, m, p in sequence), which also sets the frame's
position to "At Insertion Point".  How convenient!

The gap is caused by the line spacing for the font in the paragraph to which
the frame is anchored. The trick I've used is to define a new paratag for
this purpose and assign it a 4 pt font. This leaves only a miniscule gap at
the top.

Hi, 

I'm having trouble with the spacing of anchored frames at the top of a page.


When I import a graphic (File>Import>File), and (when necessary) the graphic
places itself at the top of a new page in an anchored frame, it leaves a gap
between the anchored frame and the page border. How do I remove this gap? 

I have discovered that choosing the Floating option on the Anchored Frame
dialog box will eliminate this gap but it causes other text positioning
problems when text is added or deleted above the position of the graphic. I
want to be able to solve my problem without using a method that will upset
the positioning of the text above and below the graphic.

Lorraine
