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.

Subject: Disappearing anchored frames: strange FrameMaker bug

FrameMaker 7.0 in Classic on OS X 10.4.11.

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?
