Re: Another Frame graphic question

[Jay Smith <jay@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

Am I understanding correctly that you have anchored the graphic INTO a
paragraph containing text?  

The only circumstance in which I do that is when the graphic will be floating
-- and in that particular case, I put the graphic into a graphic frame that is
in a TABLE (one cell for the graphic frame, the cell below for the caption)
rather than into a plain graphic frame.  BTW, the purpose of using a table for
this is that tables are AUTO-SIZING; it will grow/shrink as appropriate to fit
the graphic and the caption text.  Tables also allow you to use NUMBERING for
the captions whereas you have serious caption numbering problems if you use
more than one caption in a normal anchored graphic frame.

If I want the graphic immediately above/below certain text, I DO use a
paragraph without text just to anchor the graphic.  That paragraph is tagged
as appropriate: graphic-incolumn, graphic-spancolum, etc.  You thus have the
ability to globally position your offset from the text, etc.

Good luck.

Jay
