Yes, I noticed that. It caused me a problem because when I removed my
header, the anchor disappeared with the header since it was anchored to
the header paragraph. By deleting the header, setting my text box
correctly then re-inserting the header, I got the effect I was looking
for.

I did a "Load Styles" from the Formatter menu. That doesn't seem to import
frames. I don't know about logos. 

The thing is, I had a document that was already written and I wanted to
import all the styles, including the text box, to the old document. I
ended up creating a template, creating a new blank document from the
template and then doing a cut and paste of the text from the existing
document. A bit cumbersome but it works now. 

I now see that I could have done a "Insert File" in the new document also,
that would have saved me some time.

Yeah, Gutsy didn't work on my machine. I'll burn the new LiveCD to see if
it works better on my machine. If so, I'll upgrade to Hoary. If not, I'm
still stuck on Feisty. I'll need to find a different way to upgrade (I'm
on on AMD64 and they don't have English debs for that architecture on the
official download site).

thanks!
