OK, I appreciate the help. I'm not sure which help document (or help
system) you mean. 

I'm not inserting pics into two frames - just one. I caption the frame.
But from what you say it's probably better to use the table approach
since the document is so big and the memory is limited.

I will be going through my document and switching to tables. Do you
think it's better to embed the graphics or link them?

Thanks.
