Inserting inline graphics

One could certainly create a plugin or Frame/ExtendScript that would 
simplify that process. Before doing something "eleventh-six hundred 
times" I'd look for some type of automation.  :)

Sounds like an "Insert Icon" command is needed here. Run command (press 
shortcut keys), prompt for file .. Done! The anchoring type and offsets 
could all be pre set.

Cheers,
