I have in the meantime figured out how to do captions by inserting a field. But I have to apologize for phrasing badly the main problem, and for using incorrect terminology. The real problem is making independent FRAMES, not pages. Inserting the first image creates a frame in which the image is embedded. When I try to insert a second image (either directly or by first making a frame) the new frame comes out superimposed on the first one. What I want, of course, is to place the new frame BELOW the earlier one (the images are essentially page size, so below is the only place to put them). What I don't see is how to break out of the existing frame. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
