Hi, Additional reasons to the ones already mentioned:
o Sometimes a table or anchored frame has to move to the next page as there is not enough space on the page with the anchor. At least when the anchored frame is set to "Below Current Line" the line with the paragraph moves also to the next page. That might look rather odd! For me that's the most important reason why I use dedicated empty anchor paragraphs. o With a dedicated empty paragraph you can control the space between the last line and the anchored frame or table via the space above of the empty anchor paragraph. If you have a table, set the table´s space above to "-12 pt" and the space below of the paragraph tag to "-12 pt". Then the table will will start with the empty paragraph. You don't have any additional space due to the empty paragraph. Best regards Winfried > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Linda G.
