Hi, Belynda:

It's not clear how you're recreating the graphics in FM. If you have a text insertion point in the document, importing a graphics file by reference (linking), creates the graphic in a close-fitting anchored frame that moves with text. Depending on your release of FM, Snap is turned on or off by default.

In addition to Art's note about Snap and location of annotations, and Winfried's note about Runaround properties, annotations like text frames and graphic arrows that you place on a graphic must be completely within the anchored frame's borders. If an annotation object is partly outside the anchored frame, and partly within, it isn't anchored, and it won't move with the anchored frame.

A related and confusing annoyance is that when you drag objects into or within the anchored frame, the object is within the anchored frame while the black graphics arrow cursor that you drag them with is within the anchored frame's borders. If the arrow cursor moves outside a border while dragging an object, the object is considered to be outside the graphic frame.

HTH

Regards,

Peter Gold
