keep with next para

Alan,

I think he is using an anchored frame because there is a line in it that
goes all the way across the page.

Um, just an FYI, Graeme has been on this list for at least 5 years that I
know of.  I kinda sorta think he knows how to use FM pretty well... :-)

Graeme,

How about putting the frame on the reference page and attaching it to a
paratag in the Frame Below field?  Would that work for what you are doing?
Wouldn't even need KWN.

Or (thinking outside the anchored frome - I mean box) instead of using an
anchored frame to contain the lines, how about creating a tag that has a
right-aligned tab with a leader line (like in a TOC entry, but use the
custom field and enter an underbar instead of a .) to create the line (yeah,
a little kludgy but I tried it and it works). No problem to set KWN on the
tag.

HTH,

Diane

Hi Graeme,

I'm not certain why you are using an anchored frame to separate your
paragraphs. Why not just add space between them, then you can specify
which paragraphs need to a "keep with next" setting. This does away
with the extra paragraph between each text paragraph.

These setting are in the Paragraph Designer.
