I would approach this by building the whole thing as a two-column one-row table and using Silicon Prairie's AutoText plug-in ($10) to pop instances of it into the text as required. <http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com> >I put the word "Warning" into Numbering in the Paragraph Designer but >can't recall how to include a return for the warning text nor how to >include the warning graphic. I'm not sure that it can be made to do that. >I'm also stuck in properly referencing the bounding box.

However, if you really really want to do it this way, you have to do it with two paras, one to hold the graphics. You then use negative spacing below the para containing the graphic, and negative spacing above the para containing the warning, to slide the graphic behind the warning para. But I have a feeling that FrameMaker's rendering engine won't handle a box that completely surrounds a para in this way, although I've used it to place an L-shaped rule under and to the right of text. In structured FrameMaker you can design your elements to 'glue' binary para pairs like this together. -- Steve Rickaby BSc MBCS CITP MISTC <mailto: srickaby at wordmongers.demon.co.uk> WordMongers Ltd <http://www.wordmongers.com> Reg office Larks Cottage, Treen, St Levan, Penzance TR19 6LG Registered in the UK, no. 3130681, VAT reg no 557 4598 91
