Matt, Doesn't FM 11 allow you to create Object tags similar to Pgf tags? I only have FM 10, so don't know if that would be a solution. For myself, I would create suitably sized and populated anchored frames in a text box on a reference page, with each frame anchored At Insertion Point and Distance Below Baseline set to -3pt or whatever suits the font size/leading. Then I'd copy/paste frames from that "button library" as required. Note to Alistair, I do hope you are importing the graphic only once, by reference, and then copying/pasting that instance? Not a good idea to import by copying into the document over and over.
