------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Jan 27 19:00:29 -0800 2007 ------- I insert all graphics into frames to facilitate captions. Then set the frame's anchor to character and position the to top/bottom of page text area. This allows a graphic to follow the relative text but always remain at the top or bottom of a page. Normally this works well but sometime causes some wrap issues with the text. The larger issue is when inserting a full page frame for a large graphic. The desire is to have the placement of the frame be on the page after the related text. Using the “anchor to character” does not work well in this case, often inserting numerous extra blank pages. The current “anchor to page” does not meet my needs because it does not keep the frame relative to related text, so if pages are inserted earlier in the document the related text ends up on a page later than the frame. I understand that currently “anchor to page” is an absolute anchor to a specific page number, and agree with that functionality. My suggestion is for a new anchor type: “anchor to a page relative to a character”. With this anchor type you could insert the object next to the character you wanted it related to, select this new anchor type, and then set its page relativity to that character. You would be able to specify if it should be anchored to same page as character, a page before, or a page after. I envision an integer entry box with increment and decrement buttons, with 0 for the same page, negative for before, and positive for following. This way a frame set to “anchor to page relative to character” and 1 would always show up on the page after the anchor point.
