I agree. And to make that even more efficient ? maybe someone mentioned it already ? we can put the resulting 3 frames into the scrapbook for a reuse when needed. Ideally, this combination of frames would be empty. However, all this fuss will be solved when we have access to a "frame outset" that would allow to determine the zone of exclusion outside any frame. That way, you set the outer space on any frame and if you want to fill a gap in between two frames as it is the case with an image frame and a text frame for a caption, then you set either the bottom of the one on top or the top of the frame that's below to a value that fills that gap. I mean, it could not be simpler. Cheers!
