Indeed. But as no-one else has mentioned a similar need, maybe I really am the only one who's needed this exact feature. > People do similar inter-linear translations with text without anchoring > the texts together, would this be a possibility for you?

But I don't think the inter- linear example is better than what I've done now, which is to use 'anchor to char' and give the pictures a final positional tweak when all the text is done: possible because this particular document is quite short - probably impractical for a long one.
