I've created a lot of anchored objects that I use all the time, which I
store in a special library. You just position your text cursor where you
want the object (usually a picture box or some specially formatted text
in a frame), right click on the library item and "Place Item" is
available from the context menu. But does anybody know WHY it is, that
if you need to make a change to an item and select it (while it's
anchored in text) and then select "Update Library Item" from the context
menu, that item is thereafter no longer available to be inserted into
text? You can still place it if you have the Select cursor enabled, but
not the text cursor. The only way I've found to update anchored objects
in my library is to delete the library item, make any changes I needed
to make, then select the object and click "Add Item" from the drop-down
menu in the upper right hand corner of the library's palette. Then give
it the same name the recently deleted version had.
