Guys, guys, guys,

this could have been answered ab initio with my one sentence:

NO boxes import (or copy/paste) OTHER than anchored boxes.

If you opt to use any other kind of container/frame for graphics -- like umm, a graphics box, or opt for no box at all, you're crap out of luck as far as importing or copy/paste goes.

I repeat, this is Strange Indeed, and I would have to call it a usability failure and an interface failure. It is totally bizarre to have containers available that can only be used with that One Big Caveat.

Apparently FM gurus don't use anything but anchored boxes, so they don't know how to answer this question, except to say "use only anchored boxes like I do' yadayadayada.
