RE: Jumping to Figure Captions
We had the same problem, and solved it by placing our figure captions ABOVE the figures. All figure and table captions are above the item they are referencing, which creates a consistent look throughout our docs. Why the standard has always been for table titles to be ABOVE and figure captions to be BELOW is beyond me. I believe a FrameScript could be written (or may already be written) that would automate moving the captions from below to above the graphics. -Carla - CONFIDENTIAL- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential, and may also be legally privileged.

Re: Jumping to Figure Captions
Jack, You don't say whether you are using Structured or Unstructured. If using Structured, try changing your cross-reference format to point to the Figure and not the Caption. This will cause the jump to stop at the anchored frame which is immediately above the figure. If using Unstructured, create a Paragraph Format for your anchored frames, i.e., Figure. --- On Thu, 1/1/09, Jack DeLand jdela...@comcast.net wrote: From: Jack DeLand jdela...@comcast.net Subject: Jumping to Figure Captions To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Date: Thursday, January 1, 2009, 12:31 PM I inherited about 1,000 figures.

Jumping to Figure Captions

Yes, it is Unstructured. I will be getting into Structure soon, though. I will give this a shot. Thanks much to you and all who responded.
