What were you trying to do?
Have a table appear at the top of a column, without the anchor
point following it.
What's wrong:
Selecting "Start: Top of Column" in the Table Designer causes
the table to move to the top of a column. However, the line
containing the anchor point is forced to move to the previous
page.
Selecting "Start: Float" in the Table Designer causes the
table to be put at the top of a column only when convenient
for the flow.
What should have happened:
There should be a way to specify both "top of column" and
"float."
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
This functionality is available for anchored frames (see the
"Anchoring Position" and "Floating" options in the Anchored
Frame dialog box).
Other comments:
This is true in both version 4 and version 5.
