Hi Richard: Thanks for this input -- you've helped me learn some things.
I do need to have an anchored frame that is larger than the illustration I'm importing. However, I see that I can just choose "Below Current Line" for my anchored frame, and it automtically jumps to a new page. And the table below it automatically jumps to its own page. Thanks!
