Re: Frame 5.1 question

Why are you using this method? What does advantages does it have over
anchored frames?

You should insert an anchored frame (Special menu > Anchored Frame option)
into the document. Then, import your image file into the anchored frame.
You can position the frame below the line, run it into the paragraph to the
left or right, etc.

For your caption, you can either insert a text frame inside the anchored
frame, select the desired paragraph format and enter your text. Or you can
add a paragraph immediately after the anchored frame anchor and do the
same.

Subject:        Frame 5.1 question

I know there are various methods to placing graphics in a Frame
document.  Here is how I do mine:  I have created a single cell table
and stored it in the Table Designer as "figuretable."  In the basic
properties, I configured it so the title will appear below the table
(for figure titles).

I then import my graphics into the table (which of course automatically
creates a anchored frame).

My problem is this: I am getting too much white space between the text
above the anchored frame.  Before you mention it, I *have* set up my
figuretable properties to 0 pt. space above the table.  It helped a
little...but the graphic frame is still well below the top of the table
cell.

What I *need* to do is move the frame up in the table cell.  When I try
to manually do this I get a message telling me to go to Special>Anchor
to move the frame.  The options seem only to relate to positioning the
frame above or below the current line, horizontally etc.  I simply want
to move the anchored frame up about 1 inch within the table cell.

I've skimmed through two Frame books I have, but saw nothing
specifically regarding this.  Does anyone know how I can move the
anchored frame up just a little inside the table?  And...if so, if there
a way I can set it to where the anchored frame will position itself in
that spot each time I import a graphic?

Please cc me privately with your responses.

Thanks a bunch!
