I've grown up writing large tech reports involving a multitude (200+)
graphics. Over the years (decades), I've learned to avoid anchors, frames,
etc. I have a style Figure (centered, keep with next), Figure Title to be the
format for the caption I insert (under the figure) and same with a table: the
caption appearing ABOVE, and formatted as a keep with next paragraph.

I have a large report wherein a user created anchors and scores of carriage
returns to create blank space...and though the file is HUGE, I can see the
anchors over at his site, but FTPing a zipped version of the file to myself,
all the anchored graphics are GONE (the size is there, but no pix, no
anchors, and Edit Go to Graphic proves that all but 11 of the 200 or so
pix are simply missing.

Where'd they go?

Short of wanting fancy brochure-style wrap around text to flow around a
picture, I see no purpose in anchoring a graphic...actually, what I see is an
impossible to predict behavior of the graphic and it's anchor (what is that
thing attached to?!). I've put anchored graphics at absolute locations of a
page (works good for a Company logo to be stuck in the Header, for example),
thus repeating in exactly the same place on every page.

How can I recover the missing anchored pix? Is this a problem when
zipping/unzipping a file? As far as I know both myself and the other user
have XP OS and Office 2003. Would different versions of WinZip cause this
anomaly? What does Word do with anchored graphics?
