AW: table anchors - best practices?

I have also a document with several 100 tables one after the
other. Previously they were anchored in a single paragraph
(anchor). But it was impossible to change the order manually
or insert anything. Therefore I changed that so that each table
is now anchored in its own paragraph (with the help of
FrameScript).

The paragraph has a regular size (font 10 pt, line spacing 12 pt).
Space below is -12 pt. The table anchored in this paragraph has
set space above to -12 pt. Thus I don´t have to fiddle around
to select an anchor paragraph.

Best regards
