Is there a way to apply change bars to an anchored frame? I have had some luck if I create empty paragraphs before and after, select both empty paragraphs (and everything in between and then apply a change bar. But I have inconsistent results, and this seems like a clumsy workaround. I have been drawing them in manually (gasps).
Hi Andrew:
This isn't perfect, but since you seem flexible on the anchoring, this may work for you:

I don't believe so. As you've discovered, you'll need to highlight the frame anchor, the entire frame, and the paragraph below. Not only that, but even if you have automatic change bars turned on, they are not applied to anchored frames when they are inserted or changed.

Putting the anchor in its own paragraph with a special paragraph tag (the one I have is called, oddly enough, A Anchor) and then using At Insertion Point for placement is how I normally handle graphics. I hadn't mentioned that because it's specific to the At Insertion Point type of anchoring and I wasn't certain which he was using.
You don't need to create a character tag, though. When using the At Insertion Point placement in a paragraph that holds only the anchor, you can triple-click to select the whole paragraph and graphic and then press Esc-c-h, or use Format > Style > Change Bar.

I like bypassing the styles better, Lin, and going directly to Format > Style > Change Bar.

Out of curiosity, where did you get the text for your sample graphics? It's hysterical. I'm still giggling over "leggings mumblecore".

I don't think I've tried that one. I have used the Swedish Chef one in the past because, seriously, who doesn't love the Swedish Chef?
