The bounding box explanation makes sense, although I have never tested it directly. Your “by hand” solution could be done programmatically with FrameScript. As far as your questions: since it is the imported graphic that gets messed up, this is probably the only graphic in the frame that you want to move. You would not want to move callouts, lines, etc. And you are right: it is impossible to know if the imported graphic was originally centered in the anchored frame, so you may have to make some manual adjustments after the script runs.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>There is one way you could do this if you can pre-process the FrameMaker documents before updating the images:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>1)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>You would run a script before changing the images that would “mark” the contents of each anchored frame with its current X and Y offsets.
