Image borders and anchored frames

Hey Kenneth!

Thanks :)

I'm not entirely clear what you're trying to do, but I think you're
unhappy with the positioning of the anchored frame. You want it at the
top of the page (maybe?), and right now it's showing up below the return
you anchored it in.

First off, you can't get rid of the return, or at least, you may be able
to delete that return, but since it's an *anchored* frame, the anchor
must reside somewhere in text, so the anchor is going to show up in some
paragraph, somewhere. It doesn't have to be an empty return; the anchor
can show up right in the middle of a paragraph of text, but it has to
show up in the text stream somewhere.

Esc mp shrink wraps the anchored frame. That is, it sizes the anchored
frame to the same size as the contents of the anchored frame. It doesn't
delete returns.

If you want the anchored frame to show up somewhere other than below the
return, select the anchored frame and go to Special > Anchored Frame and
change the Anchoring Position. If you want it at the top of the page,
try At Top of Column.

In the screencaps you posted, I see a line at the bottom of the anchored
frame. This line is Frame's very unhelpful way of telling you that
something isn't fitting. You'll see this with a *text* frame (not the
anchored frame) that contains more text than can fit and isn't threaded
to another text frame. I suspect that your anchored frame contains a
text frame that contains a single return in which you've got an anchored
frame that contains your EPS image. That's a lot of stuff inside stuff.

You may want to 1) Ctrl-click the EPS image to select it; 2) Copy; 3)
Click the border of the anchored frame to select it; 4) Edit > Select
All in Frame; 5) Delete; 6) Click the border of the anchored frame again
to select it; 7) Paste. This will copy the EPS image only, delete
everything from the anchored frame, and paste the EPS image back into
the anchored frame. Now you'll have only an image inside a frame.
