Hi Steve I wonder if the frame is 1 point in height and width - that is, empty and shrinkwrapped. If you can select the anchor, can you do Esc,s,a to open the frame properties dialog box? If so, what happens if you change the dimensions to something that should be visible?
Another thing: is the frame in its own anchor paragraph? If so, is the line height set to Fixed in the paragraph designer? Hope this helps.

In twenty years I've never seen this. In the book I'm working on one chapter has many anchored frames and a few tables. While adjusting these to optimize the pagination, I've cut and pasted anchored frames only to have them not display. The anchor is there and can be searched for, but the frame is invisible: it's as if it's gone behind another frame or table. Frame contents are PDF files imported by reference. the only unusual thing about this book is that the source files were brought in from Word via RTF, but MIF-washing does not seem to affect this issue. This is by far the most serious bug I've ever come across in what is otherwise and outstandingly reliable product. My question: has anyone else seen this behaviour, and if so, do you know the cause and a fix? -- Steve Rickaby <http://www.wordmongers.com> _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [email protected].
