Ok, Got both of my first two questions answered quickly, so let me continue on question #2. I am required by the FAA on any documentation that I produce to mark the blank page at the end of the chapter with the phrase "INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK". Right now, the writers simply manually hit return a couple of times and use a paragraph tag called Blank Page that aligns the tag in the center of the page and sets the font to uppercase, bold, arial, 10 point. The problem is that not all writers place the phrase consistently in the same location on a blank page either within their own documents or across their documents and I want to make this consistent.
I have started this process with making a graphic called Blank Page - it contains the words intentionally left blank - that's all. I have used this graphic on a reference page and set it up so that when I apply it as a Frame Below a paragraph tag called Blank Page, it is centered beneath the paragraph tag, which is also centered on the page. The only thing - when I place this tag on a blank page, I want to place it so that the tag is centered top/bottom on the blank page - otherwise, we just run into the same problem we had before - consistently moving the graphic now (instead of free text) to the same vertical alignment on a blank page. Right now, I have it kinda' kludged - it's a two-step process where the users manually place a BlankPage_Step1 tag at the top of the blank page (which is always a left hand page), then press return and the next paragraph tag is automatically the BlankPage tag which has a space above set to 120 pts and the graphic centered. I want to do this in one step (if I am making any sense and if it is even possible). When a user clicks at the top of the blank page, I want them to be able to click BlankPage and have the tag automatically be placed in the center of the page, but other than working with space above a tag (which means having another tag first), I cant' figure out a way to do this.
