Linking Master Pages to A Pgf Tag in an Anchored Frame

It sounds like a 1-cell table with title would solve your need to float, if
the Title were the trigger in your mapping table.

Art and Matt,

Thanks for the suggestions. The problem is that I want the graphic to
"float", in other words, if I add or remove text preceding the graphic I
don't want to end up with a big empty space at the bottom of the page
preceding the full page graphic. I'm starting to suspect that there is no
way of doing this the way that I want it done, other than manually applying
the master page after I have done all of the editing.

So, just to clarify, a trigger pgf tag has to be inside the normal A text
flow otherwise it won't work? There is no other place I could put it where
it might work?

Thanks,

Jona
