Frames within Frames Question

[Art Campbell]

Putting the illustration in an anchored frame, not a graphic frame,
would be the standard way to do this, so that it floats and adjusts to
the right/left layout changes according to the parameters of the
paragraph tag...

And as far as twiddling the default setting, there are at least one or
two plug-ins that allow the preference to be set.
