Problem

Symptoms: When putting an Advance Down code after a graphics box, the text wraps as if the box were there, even though the text has advanced far below the box. Steps To Duplicate: 1. Create a figure box 2. Set Anchor Type to page 3. Set Vertical Position to top, Horizontal Position to margin-center, and Wrap Text Around Box to yes 4. Use the default size 5. Put in an advance code after [Fig Box] to advance down 6 inches or so 6. Start typing in text The first line of text will wrap and give a soft return at the point where the figure box begins, even though the figure box is several inches above where the text starts. The next line will act normally, wrapping at the right margin. Solutions: When you advance up or down, all the formatter does is change the vertical position. The horizontal position on the line is left intact (the figure affects the amount of horizontal space available, and this is not changed either). You can see this in Reveal Codes since a soft return breaks the line where the figure would start, even though the text is well below the figure. A workaround would be to put a hard return between the Advance Down code and the text. If you receive more calls on this, please log it as a candidate for the Hotlist.
