Ahhh, wife just called me... OK, quickly then...
I believe that you can create a frame style and apply it to graphics.
You can create a style to set things as desired... No time to verify,
sorry...

G'day all.
Here's today's question... :-)
Is there a good tutorial/explanation somewhere on how to place photos/graphic
items in a document so that they:
a) Move smoothly with the text to which they are attached (as document gets
edited/repaginated).
b) Keep text from sliding under their edges and being obscured.
c) Don't go sillly when the text gets pushed across a page boundary.
d) Behave sensibly when anchored to a paragraph in a table cell, even when the
table cell is pushed to the bottom of a page or shifts to the following page.
What I've been doing is silly.
I place my cursor at the desired location in text,
click Insert> Picture> From file> and browse to the desiired picture
When it comes in, I resize if necessary, and I right click to verify the Anchor
and the Wrap settings.
I've tried both Character and Paragraph anchors. I've tried various wrap
options.
A picture and text will seem to co-exist properly until the text moves and then
all bets seem to be off.
I've had a pic in a cell in the middle of a page and cell is the right size to
contain both the text and the photo that's anchored to it... in approximately
the desired positions. Then the table cell gets moved to the bottom of the page
(by text or other objects added on earlier pages). The table cell is reluctant
to jump to the next page and so squashes itself down to just the size of the
text, leaving the photo feeling lost and confused. The photo them bumps up
against the top of the cell, but overlaps the bottom of the cell, as well as
the bottom of the text area and the page footer. I think maybe it's not
supposed to work that way?
Is there some other batch of settings that I've been neglecting? Another dialog
I've overlooked?
