FrameMaker side graphics as a part of the paragraph style

[Chuck Martin <cm -at- writeforyou -dot- com>]

I'm pretty sure I've seen this done before in a long-ago job, but I 
don't recall how it *was* done (I think we were using Frame 5.x/Mac) and 
Google and archive searches have proved fruitless.

What I have: a document template with room for side heads.

What I want: a paragraph style that contains a side graphic in the area 
for side heads. Such a graphic should be right-aligned with the 
side-head area and top-aligned with the top of the first line of text.

I know I could do this by adding tables that stretch across the side 
head area. But I'd rather note take that approach, especially as if the 
paragraph turns out to be only a short, one-line sentence, the vertical 
space between paragraphs below would look like too much.

I *think* I could do this by creating some sort of pre-designed graphic 
frame, placed correctly in relation to its anchor and store that in the 
reference pages, but I'm not entirely sure how to do this.

I'd *prefer* to have such a beast as a part of the paragraph style, but 
the only thing I can find seems to allow graphics above or below the 
paragraph, not alongside (and seemingly no way to adjust the placement 
of such graphics).

thx
