When you create an insert in a page of text it takes extra steps to create a border of white space around the insert. A graphic frame is the easiest. Put the graphic on a layer above the text. On the same layer as the insert draw a graphic frame over the insert, slightly larger than the insert. under the properties of this frame select a Color>Fill of white. Under the Shape property select something other than "Disabled" Then using Item>Level lower this extra frame one level (not layer but level.)
If the insert is text in nature and has a grey background things get more complicated. You need two spacings, one around the inserted text and one around the gray background This takes three items, the text item, a slightly larger item colored grey and then the white item. If there is a simpler method I hope someone can suggest it. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Book layout, typesetting and Indexing Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html
