Default Anchored frame positioning

[Fred Ridder]

Art,

 

First, I don't use ImpGraph at my current job because shrinkwrap works fine for our template design.

Second, I never said (nor implied, as far as I can see) that ImpGraph locks the padding around graphics at *any* value.

The point I was making was that both the standard and "AsIs" versions of the FrameMaker shrinkwrap command *always* change the graphics padding from 6 pt to 1 pt, and that if Verner needs/wants the original padding (or anything greater than that 1 pt padding produced by shrinkwrap) he needs to use something other than shrinkwrap. I mentioned ImpGraph by name only because you had already suggested that tool. I was simply trying to provide context for my suggestion as well as acknowledging your valid suggestion.

(I've been using this command for so long that those three keystrokes are completely automatic for me whenever I insert a graphic.) This command, which was originally designed for inline mathematical equations (the "mp" mnemonic stands for "math, package"), does exactly what you seek, plus it reduces the padding between the graphic and the graphic from 6 pts on all sides to 1 pt on all sides.

Many Frame users have installed a free 3rd party plugin called ShrinkWrapAsIs.dll, which changes the padding *without* changing the position property. If you have that DLL in the fminit\Plugins folder of your FrameMaker installation, simply move it to another file to restore the standard shrinkwrap command.
