The explanation I had always heard was that the m p mnemonic stood for "math, package", and that the command was designed to do exactly what you want to do when you're inserting a mathematical equation constructed with some equation editing tool as an inline object in your text. When you're putting an anchored frame inline in a paragraph, the "at insertion point" frame position and minimized frame margins are exactly the properties you want.
My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

If you initially set the anchored frame postion to be Below Current Line, using ESC mp to shrink the size of the anchored frame to the size of the contained graphic object changes the anchored frame position to "At Insertion Point". To restore the original position after shrinking it, you must click on the anchored frame, open the Anchored Frame dialog, and and re-select "Below Current Line", and perhaps also restore the original "Alignment" position. Don't ask me why the ESC mp action forces these arbitrary changes in position and alignment. That's just the way it is. I suspect that this shortcut was added at the request of one of the large license holders, who explicitly asked for this behavior, and Frame Technology complied with the request. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Ok, > > I have tried searching the archives for this, but > the searchable messages > don't go back far enough in time.
