Hi Jean and Mitren I guess I need to take up someone on their offer to do some fixing on the Charts and Graphs file. I've just spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how to anchor a picture and or a caption frame where I WANT it and so far my results seem totally random. Should there not be something in OOo Authors about this? I cannot find it. Currently all I want is for a blasted picture and caption (either a screen shot inserted into writer or a chart copied and pasted from Calc to Writer) to stay put at the end of a paragraph. I'll tackle the interesting problem of the shrinking graphic in the table later.
