Using graphics from a reference page

I know how to place a line above or below text using reference page graphics and the advanced properties for the paragraph, but is there a way to place graphics on either side of a single piece of text? I am making a Glossary and for the GlossaryEntry paragraph tag (A, B, C, etc.), I have been aske

Re: Using graphics from a reference page

Tammy, FrameMaker does not provide a feature specifically for putting a graphic to the side of a paragraph. Using tables is probably the most frequent way to achieve that effect. Another technique is to create two paragraphs with negative spacing between them so that they overlap vertically.

Who is the final proofreader?

In publishing terms (old style, pre-PC), the final proofing had to be done by the author, but this used to be done jointly in three stages, first the galleys, second, the page proofs and finally the index. The typesetter also proofed all the copy and of course, the copy editors did their bit. If th
