Rene, I'm sending a couple test files in a separate mail.
As far as TimeSavers goes, I highly recommend. It is an extremely powerful and imo, an indispensable piece of software. As far as the script goes, it doesn't have to be that complicated. Contact Rick Quattro. He has lots of experience doing these things.

Smalley; Art Campbell Cc: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: PDF setup for LOF links Thanks, Baruch! Is there some reason why placing the G: series below the anchored frame would prevent the PDF from displaying with the G: series below the graphic in the uppermost position, rather than the anchored frame contents showing in the desirable location...? Or should this G: series occur as the format for the paragraph where the graphic is inserted? Thinking this through... Since we use the same paragraph format for inserting tables as for anchored frames, I think we'd need to include a test to loop through and find the Spacer paragraphs, verify anchored frame insertion is present, convert that instance to G: series paragraph. Then, to make sure the script could run before each PDF option, we'd need to have the script loop through the document and every time is finds a series F: figure heading have it [verify G: series is an empty paragraph and if it is then] select and copy the text, then drop in a series G: paragraph below the anchored frame, and paste the series F: text into it. Then, use the series G: format to generate your LOF. Thus, LOF will be identical to what you would have if you generated an LOF based on series F:, but the links will now all go to the series G: format which is directly under each of the graphics. Apparently there are two schools of thought in addressing this issue: either make the title precede the figure, or find a way to make PDF read some point preceding the figure. Someone else mentioned Schlomo's TimeSavers as a possible solution? Anyone more familiar with TimeSavers, I checked the MicroType website, and it does look like a demo of the solution. But is it a one-time deal, or does it work on an ongoing basis, or is it something run at production time? Rene L. Stephenson ----- Original Message ---- From: Baruch Brodersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Rene, A script is the way to go. Here's what I would test. Create two almost identical Figure title formats. In the Autonumbering tab set it up something like this: F:Figure\t<$chapnum>.<n+> ---or whatever your current format is G:Figure\t<$chapnum>.<n+> Make the G: series Invisible, 2pt., 0 pt. above, and 0 pt. below. Now, have your script loop through the document and every time is finds a series F: figure heading have it select and copy the text, then drop in a series G: paragraph below the anchored frame, and paste the series F: text into it. Then, use the series G: format to generate your LOF. Thus, LOF will be identical to what you would have if you generated an LOF based on series F:, but the links will now all go to the series G: format which is directly under each of the graphics.
