Hi All, (FM7.2 on WinXP) Our templates and style guide have the graphics and tables left-aligned with captions. However, when the figure is an integrated graphic in a procedure, it looks a bit odd to have the figure and caption all the way over against the left edge of the text frame when the surrounding text is at various levels of indentation?.25 inches for numbered steps and additional .25 inches for substep or bullet levels, potentially .75 inches from the left margin, if the graphic appears after options in an alpha substep, like a short bulleted list under step 3 (b). (I hope that make sense. It would be so much easier to just show you!)
A couple of employers (and several years) ago, we had FM templates that used a figure caption paragraph format, and if?when you inserted the anchored frame?you followed some certain procedure (which of course I cannot find and only vaguely remember) you could get the paragraph to align itself relative to the level of indentation of the preceding paragraph. Long story short, that company got sold, and the other writers have long been scattered to the winds. So, now I'm trying to reinvent the wheel. I tried messing around with where I insert the anchored frame and the various combinations of anchored frame positioning and alignment, but I can't seem to get it working. Seems like we had a shortcut keystroke set up, maybe with a .cfg file or something, but you could manually make it happen even without using the shortcut. Does anyone on this list have any ideas? Brainstorming would be helpful! :-) Thanks, Rene Stephenson Rene L. Stephenson eNovative Solutions, Inc. Business Phone: 678-513-0051 Email: rinnie1 at yahoo.com
