Steven, Remember what I said about FM importing only *flows* from other FM documents. An anchored frame is part of the flow, as it is "anchored" in one of the paragraphs of the flow. If you pull the graphic outside of the anchored frame, you have also effectively yanked the graphic from the flow itself. It now resides on a specific page only. A page can contain multiple flows and not all pages have to have the same flows. If you want to import something into another FM document, it must be part of a flow. As Art said, you need to learn to use the tools as they are designed to be used. FM is not Quark or InDesign and does not use the same layout metaphors as those applications. You really need to try to forget about how those programs work and not try to make FM work like them - it is different. It's like trying to apply the knowledge and principles of sailing to driving a car in an urban environment - you're going to be disappointed and in for some surprises...
