taking an image out of an anchored frame

[Maxwell Hoffmann]

Dear Milan,

What you are experiencing (ability to drag graphic out of a frame) is part of the FrameMaker product design. The most common use for dragging a graphic out of an anchored frame is to drag it into another anchored frame. In the early days of FrameMaker, this was often done with the page zoom set to 25% so you could see multiple pages.

If you do not have an insertion point (e.g. click the white page margin first) when you import a graphic, it will appear in he center of the page with no anchored frame.

Your insertion point is changing because all imported graphics have "Runaround Properties" turn on, which makes text wrap around the graphic. FYI, imported graphics that have runaround contour turned on can cause text to "scrunch up" in an adjacent caption text frame.

Unanchored graphics are most frequently used on master pages for logos in headers/footers or for watermarks behind the text column. I hope this helps.

Subject: taking an image out of an anchored frame

I see that I can import an image (File > Import > File), move it outside the anchored frame, delete the anchored frame, and then have this apparently unanchored image just sitting there. I seem to be able to move it anywhere, though in some places it will cause the insertion point to move.

Have I come across something useful or something I should avoid? And if I wanted to read what others have said about this on the Web, what search terms would you suggest? "Remove * from anchored frame" gives me nothing on Google.

Thanks.
