Quick off-topic question,
If you have in a line of text something like "to any of 1 (a)-(c)", is this
more correctly set as "to any of 1 (a)...(c)"?

I think Stuart's method is the way to go; only thing I do differently
is use letters in the graphic.
This also saves time by eliminating having to alter the graphic or the
frame contentswhen something changes -- all the changes are in the

Nancy, it there is even a remote possibility that your docs will be
localized, definitily put the callouts in text frames. That way, they
become part of the body text flow and will show up on the translators
workbench screen. Otherwise, they have to be done individually and it will
cost you a lot
Nancy, we use just one anchor tag for tabels and figures. It's just a tag
to hang a frame on. I don't know of any reason to have separate tags.

As long as you can get the styles into text files, you can use diff tools.
KDiff (http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/) is a free diff tool that compares
directories or files as you need.
You probably will still need to manually create the files to compare, but
that's just some annoying cut and paste
