Indexing is an art form that is rarely up to the job, alas.
In looking through Help and web sites I can't seem to find the key
words to use to solve my problem.
I have a data sheet with 2 graphics and 2 text frames that need to
stay fixed in relationship to each other to maintain the look needed.
The 2 graphics frames won't change, but the wording in the two text
frames will.
Currently they are anchored to the page, but when I change content or
spacing on the page one or another, or both of the text frames moves
and has to be repositioned.
How can I lock all 4 together to that they will always stay together
and always at the same place on the page?
Thanks,
Allen

1. For each frame:
click in the frame to bring up its green handles. Now right click in the
frame to bring up the context menu and choose Frame. Click on the Type
tab. Select the size and position of the frame. Untick Autosize if it's
ticked. Choose Left and Entire Page for horizontal position; choose Top
and Entire Page for vertical position. Having got the size and position
right, click the Options tab and tick Protect Size and Protect Position.
Note that while it's obvious the frame now can't be moved it's not
obvious (at least it wasn't to me) that the frame can't now be copied
either.
2. Having done all the frames, group them together: select the first by
clicking in it; select the others by Ctrl-clicking in each. Then do
Format>Group. Strictly this is not necessary as the position of each is
protected but ...
Takes longer to explain than to do. I did it just recently to create a
template of 4 Filofax pages next to each other on a single page with
each sub-page complete with marks (small circles) for the holes and
diagonal lines bottom right to fold so that the corner is easy to tear
off as a place marker. Each "page" is its own text frame with proper
word wrap etc.
