Hi Frank

Set up the frame as follows:

- Text wrapping: None, or Around, depending on your needs (but start with
"Around")

- Width: Exactly, and set your width

- Height: Exactly, and set your height

- Horizontal Position: Choose Left (or enter a measurement) relative to the
Margin

- Vertical Position: Enter a measurement and choose relative to the
Paragraph (so if your paragraph was, say, 20cm long, and your frame is 8cm
high, then choose something like 6cm to get the frame centred roughly
vertically within the paragraph)

- Tick Move with Text

- Tick or don't tick Lock Anchor as you choose (all this does is prevent you
from dragging the anchor shown in Print Layout). Remember that a frame is
always anchored to a paragraph. Whether you can see the anchor depends on
your setting at Tools Options View.

Don't forget that, for the two "position" boxes, you can choose from the
drop down list, or you can enter a measurement in the units of your choice.

Hope this helps.

I have all my figures and captions together in a frame. This way I can make
sure that they will stay together. The problem that I do get now though is
that I can't place the frame where I want it.
If my frame is e.g. the size of half a page, and the text on the page
where
I want to put the frame is one long continuous story, without any
paragraph
breaks, I can't just paste the frame within that paragraph. When I do
that,
it is automatically shifted down the document to a place where there is
enough space to put it. How can I force the frame to be on a page, within
a
paragraph, and stay there? Anchor it doesn't seem to work either.
