I have been kinda busy at work, I will have look at the document as soon as I can. I also am going to read up on the suggestion Jean made and see if I can help out. I do apologize for the delays last couple of months have been crazy at work.
Thanks.
Mitren.

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.
Thanks
Have a good weekend
