Basically, what i want to do is have a series of 8 groups (1 image frame & 1 text frame each) on a page, and have them able to 'flow' much like the way text does.

Currently I am doing this by creating a series of 8 text boxes (one for each position on the page) and then linking them together into a story. The groups then go inside the text boxes, allowing them to flow to only certain positions on the page.

My problem occurs when I try to get a group into the text boxes. I can do this manually by just cutting the group and then pasting it inline in the text box, but I am not sure how to go about doing this in a script.

Anyone have any ideas?

thanks in advance.
