That's part of the fun and games one can have with Framemaker. Taken further to
the extreme one can move entire words to another line, for example. Then one
can come to the rescue and provide tech support to the person who is having
difficulty editing the document.

Hi, Bodvar:
Like most great discoveries, serendipity is at play here, too. I
noticed this ability when I intended to move a graphic object with
Alt+arrow while I had text selected, instead of the graphic object.

You might also want to know that Alt + the Home key on Windows returns
the text to its original position. You certainly don't want to have to

Rather than hacking the MIF file, you can use our ExtraCharFormat plugin
(FREE) to set the OffsetVertical and OffsetHorizontal character style
properties if you want to save the positioning as part of the character
style.

As you can see, $lastpagenum only picks up the value from the chapter
where it resides. You can get it to work as you want by using a cross

Some solutions:
* Copy/paste a stored example of the frame into the import position,

* Move into structured FM, where you can define this behavior.

Hi, Debbie:
Selecting the text and applying Default Paragraph Font does it, too.
I hope I didn't make it sound in my post that MIF is required. I just

I think MIF2Go is less buggy, more configurable, and better supported
