RE: Text Frames on Graphic

["Sam Beard" <sbeard -at- oico -dot- com>]

Rick,

   Thanks much for the info! I'll pass it along to my supervisor. I'm
thinking about getting Frame for myself and, if I do, I'll definitely
keep things like this in mind. Although, I'm curious as to why some of
the text frames worked as they should and others didn't, even though
they were clones of each other. 

Thanks again!

Hi Sam,

You need to Control+Click on the graphic and choose Graphics > Runaround

Properties. Set the value to Don't Run Around and click Set.

Unfortunately, the default for imported graphics is to have the
Runaround 
set to Run around Contour. You might want to look at my RunaroundNone 
plugin, which remedies this problem. See
