Roger Shuttleworth has drawn my attention to the 'top of left/right page' options in the paragraph designer. In over 20 years of using FrameMaker, I'd never had cause to use them (although certainly not the other para positioning options), so had forgotten they were there. Duh!

(I still rather like my idea of floating paragraphs, though: could be used to write self-reorganising poetry ;-)
