Thanks for this insight, Fred. However, none of the paragraph styles extend into the side-head margin - so why doesn't every floating frame vanish (which they don't, only some)? >As a test, I'd try manually widening the text frame on the page where you want >the graphic to float to. My guess is that the float will work in this case. No: if I understand you correctly, then it still vanishes. However, if I make the anchored frame just less than the main used flow width (i.e. the master page frame minus the 30-point side-head), it doesn't vanish. -- Steve
