RE: atw: Frame query
Instead of removing the stuff in front of the graphic, you can just select each item in turn and send it to back. Evenually you'll be able to grab the unwanted graphic and remove it.

In this case it is only a circle. I have looked up help and couldn't find anything. A graphic exists in a context. On a page, the context is the page's border, so that the graphic is in a z-ordinate or list from front to back with everything else on that page. In an anchored frame, the graphic is in a front-to-back list with everything else in the anchored frame. Save a back up of the file. Ctrl-click each item that lies in front of the graphic item. Cut them to the clipboard. Click on the unwanted graphic and delete it. Select the context: in a page, click in the margin outside the text frame, in an anchored frame, Ctrl-click the border. It is important to select the context at this point because the x-y coordinates of the items on the clipboard are preserved and applied to position them in their original locations provided they are pasted back into the context whence they were cut. Now paste from the clipboard.

RE: atw: Frame query
FrameMaker's clipboard is only one object deep (at least it is in the Window's versions, can't say for Macintosh) so multiple cut operations will delete anything except the last item sent to the clipboard via cut or copy. I find it far safer to simply select items in front of the unwanted object via control-click and send them to the back, repeating as necessary if there is more than one overlying the target of my removal (e.g. the circle in this case). You can usually also grab the background object alone by drag-selecting it (hold the left mouse button down and drag a selection rectangle starting in a position such that you do not enclose the text frame), and then either delete it, cut it to the clipboard, or bring it to the front again.

RE: atw: Frame query
Or you can select whatever is in front and then Alt+Arrow it to one side until you can select and delete the offending graphic. Then Alt-Arrow the former selection back the same amount of Arrow-depressions.
