Putting the illustration in an anchored frame, not a graphic frame,
would be the standard way to do this, so that it floats and adjusts to
the right/left layout changes according to the parameters of the
paragraph tag...
And as far as twiddling the default setting, there are at least one or
two plug-ins that allow the preference to be set.

Hello Framers,
We have books with different text frames for left and right master
pages (in order to leave more space in the gutter than on the
outside). When you insert a graphics frame for an illustration it
references the page, not the text frame. The result is that if the
pagination shifts, as it often does as you insert new graphics or
futz with the text, the graphics frames are often off-center since
they are getting their coordinates from the page, not the text frame,
which has moved.
Does anyone have a workaround for this?
(It seems to contradict the very principle from which Framemaker gets
its name!)
While I'm at it, it is annoying and time-consuming to have to set run-
around properties separately every time a graphics frame is inserted.
Shouldn't there be a Preference for "Always Run-around Bounding Box"?
(Mac FM 7.0, I'm on digest)
Thanks!
