Why does my paragraph tag for images get repositioned AFTER the image?

[Guest]

I have TCS2 and link my FM docs to RH.

I use a paragraph tag in FM called "figure" for my imported images. I noticed there is too much space after the images in RH and discovered the "figure" tag is BELOW the images. So even if I map the tag to a RH style, it won't do any good. Any suggestions?

TechPubsMistress,

I used to have spacing issues with figure styles positioned below my imported images. I found that the anchored frame settings were causing it. I ended up changing these settings from Below Current Line to At Insertion Point with 0 entered for the Distance Above Baseline. That seemed to solve the problem, but changing the settings for every single image was quite a task. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it if this problem occurs with every single image and Figure style. If the issue occurs only with a few images, try modifying the anchored frame settings to see if that helps.

This might fix your problem. Look at how your anchored frame appears in the FrameMaker document. It's probably like this:

┴ ¶

Which is simply the anchored frame marker followed by the paragraph marker.

Now try this. Before the anchored frame marker, add a forced space (CTRL-Space).

|_| ┴  ¶

When RoboHelp interprets this, it appears to place the paragraph before the anchored frame, not after it.

This is assuming you've got the anchoring position set to"Below Current Line," as suggested earlier.

Hope this helps!

The "at insertion point" solved the problem for anchored frames, but not for tables...any other suggestions?

Cool...the anchored frame thing worked for the graphics, and the space before the tag worked for the tables. I just put in a regular space and it worked fine. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
