RE: Esc m p for anchored frames?
Tammy -- this behaviour was scripted for equations created using FrameMath. We just get the bonus of having it work for other anchored frames. g AFAIK, there is no way to change this default behaviour. The workaround is to type Esc-s-a after Esc-m-p and choose the setting you want. With something like FrameScript or AutoIT (http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/), you could probably combine this set into a single function key.

RE: Esc m p for anchored frames?
Tammy, The anchored frame moves because one of those commands sets the anchored frame to At insertion point instead of Below insertion point, which I'm guessing was your setting before running the command. I don't know how to shrinkwrap without this change, but suspect someone else on the list can help with that. ~~ Linda G.

Re: Esc m p for anchored frames?
If you initially set the anchored frame postion to be Below Current Line, using ESC mp to shrink the size of the anchored frame to the size of the contained graphic object changes the anchored frame position to At Insertion Point. To restore the original position after shrinking it, you must click on the anchored frame, open the Anchored Frame dialog, and and re-select Below Current Line, and perhaps also restore the original Alignment position. Don't ask me why the ESC mp action forces these arbitrary changes in position and alignment. That's just the way it is. I suspect that this shortcut was added at the request of one of the large license holders, who explicitly asked for this behavior, and Frame Technology complied with the request. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok, I have tried searching the archives for this, but the searchable messages don't go back far enough in time.

RE: Esc m p for anchored frames?
The explanation I had always heard was that the m p mnemonic stood for math, package, and that the command was designed to do exactly what you want to do when you're inserting a mathematical equation constructed with some equation editing tool as an inline object in your text. When you're putting an anchored frame inline in a paragraph, the at insertion point frame position and minimized frame margins are exactly the properties you want. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Re: Esc m p for anchored frames?
Daniel, Linda, Rick, Kay, Sarah, Grant, Debbi, Fred, et. al. Thanks for all of the information. Here's a quick summary of what I have learned both on and off-list: 1.) Esc m p - Escape math position. We inherited this function from its original purpose for equations in a Framemaker document (hence, math position). Shrinkwrapping an equation shrinks the surrounding anchored frame so that it's just large enough for the equation, changes the frame's anchoring position to At Insertion Point, and puts the insertion point after the frame. 2.) After I shrinkwrap a graphic, I can use Esc s a (wild guess here, maybe for special anchored frame) to open the Special Anchored Frame dialog box and set the position of the anchored frame as needed. Thanks one and all - I learn so much from this list every day! Everybody on this list has such a large brain (a direct reference to a local morning show here in Denver -locals will know what I mean!)

RE: Esc m p for anchored frames?
Back in Dec. 2004, I brought this topic up. Doug B. sent me a DLL (ShrinkWrapAsIs.dll). This allows you to use the Esc m p command, but the anchored frame will stay as it was originally set. I won't redistribute the DLL without permission, but I've copied Doug at the email I had for him from that time. -Carla [EMAIL PROTECTED] - CONFIDENTIAL- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential, and may also be legally privileged.

Re: Esc m p for anchored frames?
When I taught this shortcut in one of my FrameMaker classes, someone suggested it stood for Make Perfect. I've always liked that and it makes the shortcut easier to remember.
