Anchored Frames into Web Works Help

I've included anchored frames in my Framemaker document (7.0 Pro) as I wish to include side notes in my print manual. These frames include an icon from the reference page and text.
I do not want this anchored frame (text or icon) to come into my Web Works, online Help (3.0 template). Web Works seems to treat this frame and its contents as a graphic. How do I keep this content from coming into my Web Works project?
I was able to mark the text with conditional text, but then the anchored frame still comes in, but with a bunch of white space.

Thanks!

Hi Debcha,

Couldn't you assign it a style in FrameMaker that isn't processed in WebWorks Publisher? Sort of like a pass-through and ignore style?

I can assign the text inside the anchored frame a style and it won't show, but I can't assign the anchored frame a style. So, if I set the style not to show, I get a big white space (the frame without the text, I assume).
 
When you insert an anchored frame, is it anchored to the preceding line of text? It probably shouldn't be. Anchored frames really should have a style of their own.

What I've done that works pretty well is create a style called "anchor" and then insert the anchored frame. The anchored frame is tied to the paragraph marker with the "anchor" style tag.

Or, you could even use conditional text applied to the anchored frame and graphic and then set up WWP to pass-through or ignore the condition.
