Inserting images in Framemaker

["Stacia Marlett" <smarlett -at- digitalriver -dot- com>]

Hello everyone,

I've got a really basic best practices Frame question, about inserting
images. I was always taught (by STC-award-winning tech writers) that the
anchor for an image belongs on its own line. However, I've seen people
place the anchor on the same line as the text before the image (whether
that's the caption or just text), but I've never understood that. To me,
it's easier to see and grab the marker if it's on its own line, plus the
image can get too close to the text. It's just messier to me.

I've typically worked with templates (built by me and others) that use
an anchor paragraph style. For example, the template I'm updating now
has captions at the top and the anchor style (a 2-pt style) as the next
paragraph. My co-worker doesn't get why this is useful, and I don't get
why the other way is any better.

Is there a best practices method for inserting images in Framemaker?

Thanks!
