I have a two column layout and needed to create some paragraph tags for graphics to straddle both columns. When I did this, I found that text above the graphic wraps from the left column into the right column before it begins again below the graphic in the left column. I think this will confuse readers, so I want to keep the graphic at the top of the page. This is where I�ve had problems. I need a table caption before the anchored frames for my imported tables, and a figure caption after the anchored frames for my imported figures. I have separate paragraph tags for each type (ie a Table Anchored tag, a Table Caption tag, a Figure Anchored tag, and a Figure Caption � all of which span both columns). Requiring the caption to stay with the anchored frame tag is making it difficult to control the position of the anchored frame and the text flow near it. I�ve tried a few things: 1. I manually inserted soft and hard returns in the last lines of the page before the anchored frame. This allowed the graphic to sit at the top of the page, but of course, when new text is added, I have to do this all over again. 2. I then tried to change the anchored frame properties to fall at the top of the column or at the bottom, but this keeps the caption near the marker, which is not always near the frame itself. This won�t do. 3. I also tried to change the paragraph pagination properties so that the caption and the anchored frame tags start at the Top of Page, and that works fine, almost like a page break, but there is usually tons of white space on the previous page. I would have to cut and paste this below the graphic to �remove� that extra, mostly blank, page that is before my graphic. Any advice will help! Thanks!
