Okay, after a couple of days of using the code and customizing it to my needs (making sure everything gets formatted etc.) the bosses are very happy, and so am I. There is one thing they would like to change however. 

Some of the titles have only a couple lines in them. This leaves a lot of white space between the bottom of the text and the top of the picture. While I am aware there are text frame to content resizing scripts out there (thanks Ole!) Im not sure if I can script it so it will 
A) resize the text box 
B) resize the photo beneath this text box so that the text bottom is the photo's top 

I think an idea about it is forming in my head...resize text box, select photo box, get coordinates for text bottom apply to photo top, resize to fit... Im not sure if this is the right way to go. Any suggestions? 

Is this making sense?
