Adding graphics in a reference page

[Diane Gaskill]

Larry,

We use the 1-row, 2-celled table method that Art described and it works well
in both unstructured and structured FM.  See pages 1-8, 1-9, 1-17, and the
reference page in the attached file.

However, there is a gotcha when using the TCS to import files into RH.  The
graphics are missing from the cell in RH because graphics on the reference
page are not mapped into RH.  We have not found an acceptable workaround for
this yet.

An easier way to do this may be to create a 1-row, two-cell table. The
left cell holds a unique tag that only calls the graphic on the
reference page with Frame Above or Below. The right cell holds the
warning/note/whatever text.

The table will let you adjust more finely because now you have cell
margins and spaces to use to adjust the graphic's position.

imported the graphic into an anchored frame within the graphic frame.  It
works.  The problem is I am unable to customize the spacing around this
image so that is is parallel with the text. when applying the tag to text,
the image is too high above the text, which creates too much space.

add the graphic, that works, but it's not what they are expecting.
