You have had your answer elsewhere on this list. But, seriously, why isn't there a figure object that is similar to a one-celled table, which is a pain to set up. The new figure object would have: @ an anchor for the entire object, @ similar placement options to a table (top of page, bottom of page, etc.) @ be able to *float onto another page without dragging its anchor para after it* (fix tables too) @ contain an anchored frame, title, multi-para caption, and figure footnotes (like a table) @ a Figure Designer dialogue where you could set various options (no title, title placement, borders and fill rulings and colours, etc.) @ the ability to output to MIF in a previous format where the figure components would be separated into separate objects (title para, anchored frame, caption para(s), or into a new MIF format where it was just a single object While we are at it, for both figure and table you should be able to specify the placement of the title and caption/footnotes relative to the body: above, below, left side, right side, alternating left and right sides depending on pagination, etc. I have been proposing this to Frame Technologies and Adobe since c. 1798. We live in hope. Please feel free to forward this to your favourite Adobe contact/forum/blog if you think, this is a good idea Regards, Hedley -- Hedley Finger 28 Regent Street Camberwell VIC 3124 Australia Tel. +61 3 9809 1229 Fax.
