Re: anchoring a frame but not to a header

Just for clarity let me emphasize one key point - *nothing* in Word can be
anchored to a *page* because pages do not exist. Pagination is imposed on
the document content by margin settings & the printer :-)

The point Suzanne was making is that _if_ you anchor a graphic object to the
*very first paragraph* of a document you may have luck keeping it there
because it is at the very beginning of the text flow. Since the location of
that paragraph is not likely to change the position of the graphic
in/anchored to it is less likely to change as well. IOW, "very beginning"
means precisely that, not to be loosely interpreted as 'somewhere near the
beginning'.

A floating object anchored to that very first paragraph can have its
position specified through the Format> <type of object> dialog using the
Horizontal & Vertical options. (For objects other than Frames, on the Layout
tab, click the Advanced button & set the specifications as needed.)

I'm trying to anchor a frame to the bottom of the page but not to a header or
a footer. Nor do i want to use the footer - I want to use that to say 1 of 1
etc.

In another thread Suzanne said this in relation to anchoring and not have it
move:
The only place you can put *anything* and have a realistic expectation of it
staying there is the Header/Footer layer. [One possible exception being at
the very beginning of the document.]

The one possible exception is exactly what i want to do. At the very
beginning of my document, without using the header facility, I nevertheless
have a 'header' - it is a graphic stretching across the page.

Can I anchor my frame to this and if so how?
