Re: Anchored Frame/Pagination bug?

[Roger Shuttleworth]

Hello Lynn

Just to clarify: You insert the Figure Title paragraph, then add the anchored frame to the end of it? And you obviously want the figure title (caption) to stay with the figure.

I just tried this in FM9 p255, and it works fine. What I did was: 1. Fill a page with Body paragraphs down to near the bottom. 2. Add a FigureTitle para and an anchored frame set to Below. The FigureTitle para and the frame immediately jumped to the next page. Neither Body nor FigureTitle has any Keep with Next or Previous settings.

If I delete successive Body paras previous to the FigureTitle, the FigureTitle and frame both remain on the next page until there is room for both on the first page. They are never separated.

Perhaps others can confirm behaviour in FM9 and 10 in order to determine whether there is really a difference.

One option for you would be to put the frame in its own (empty) paragraph format (for example, FigureAnchor), and set the frame to At Insertion Point. Then tweak the Keep with Next or Previous settings so that FigureTitle and FigureAnchor paras are kept together. I prefer this arrangement in any case (why, I ask myself...).

Hope this helps.

Subject: Anchored Frame/Pagination bug?

I'm using FrameMaker 10.  In several  chapters I have a Figure Title tag containing an Anchored Frame set to  anchor "Below the Current Line" and "Left."  
  
When the Anchored Frame is larger than  the amount of space left on the page, instead of putting the frame below  the text on the next page, FM 10 puts the Figure Title on one page and  the Anchored Frame on the next page.  
  
Using "Keep with next paragraph"  on the Figure Title paragraph has no effect; it still remains on the previous  page.  
  
Have I found a bug, or is there something  I need to be doing differently?  
  
Thanks,
