Positioning Caption Under Run-in Figure

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Alison,

To have the cross-reference source text out of order is not uncommon with
FrameMaker. It will get the figure captions in the main flow first, and then
pick up the ones inside of the anchored frames. This will sometimes happen
with your generated lists like TOCs.

Thanks to everyone who has replied on the list or privately!

I discovered that I didn't have the problem I thought I had. I had another
one.

If you are curious, read on. 


I was adding x-refs into the text methodically, going from figure to figure.
When I went looking for Figure 2-8, it wasn't there in the Cross-ref'erence
drop-down list.. The list skipped from Figure 2-7 to Figure 2-10. I assumed
that it happened because I'd put the captions to Figures 2-8 and 2-9 into
the anchored frame and Frame had not "seen" them.


I didn't scroll down further, because never in 20 years has FrameMaker
listed the figure numbers out of order. 


But when I do scroll down in the listing in the Cross-Reference box, the
list goes like this:


Figure 2-6
Figure 2-7
Figure 2-10
Figure 2-8
Figure 2-9
Figure 2-9
Figure 2-10
Figure 2-8
Figure 2-11
Figure 2-12


and on normally.


Now I am hunting through the file using Find -- Paragraph Tag "Caption" to
see what it turns up. Maybe I've buried figure tags behind anchored frames
or some such bizarre thing. This problem is definitely related to my use of
Run-in anchored frames, which I've never used before . . . but I think I did
something strange, not FrameMaker!
