Tim,
Thanks for your response. I have a 300 page document which contians about 100 exhibits (tables, graphs and/or graphics, placed in text or graphics boxes). The document is comprised of single column pages which are 6.5 inches across. Some exhibits are tables that are 6.5 inches across. These tables are not bound by text boxes. If I hit the return key in the space above the table, the entire table shifts down a line. This is what I would expect.
Other exhibits are 3 inches wide. The right side of these exhibits are justified to the right, or touching the right margin of the page. In the remaining 3.5 inches, to the left, in this case, I have text. Given that these exhibits always appear next to a summary paragraph entitled "Analysis of Results," I would like the exhibit to move with the phrase "Analysis of Results" and I would like the paragraph to always begin in the 3.5 inch space to the left of the exhibit. I realize that I could copy the object and paste it in the body of the text, but then I lose the spaces on either side of the object.
Currently, if additonal text is added above the "Analysis of Results" paragraph, the "Analysis..." paragraph shifts downward, but the exhibit remains in the same place, thus it is no longer visually associated with the begining of the "Analysis..." paragraph. I guess what I'm looking for is a way to achor the object with text.
I've come up with a crude work-around. I created a table with two columns. The left one is 3.5 inches wide, the right one is 3 inches. In the right column, I have put my object. In the left column, I put the first few lines of text from the "Analysis..." paragraph. When the left cell is filled with text, I then begin the first line under the talbe with the remaining text from the paragraph.
Thanks again, for your interest in this matter. I hope this has helped and I would be happy to make a copy of this example to you should that be useful. Your input is most welcome!
