      I have a multitude of separate text boxes in a large doc that each include an inline table of prices. I have been asked to move the price table from a particular point in the body, to the bottom of each text box so that the text boxes all have the price table aligned across a row on each page. Currently, the lines above & below always start with the same word (both different words but always the same pattern, throughout the doc). I am anticipating that they might (at some stage) be moved back & wanted to do it in such a way that I could change it easily with Grep. I can’t change the table (I tried re-creating with borders & shading but because I have set-up automatic dollar signs, commas & text before the prices – sometimes 4 on a line – they need to be separate ‘paragraphs’ for it to work). I have also tried to manually put each price box in an anchored text frame & set the position with Object Styles (which will fix the undesirable VJ spacing problem) but I still can’t, apparently, select the anchored box with Grep to move them around & I am trying to avoid the initial manual copy & paste.

      My first prob is trying to get the inline table down to the bottom for the pages I already have done but then being able to change that position at any time. Is there no easy way to do this???

      I forgot to mention that I’m using a left/right paragraph border on each side of the text frames (& they line up so the next text box’s left border sits on the previous box’s right border) but by putting the price box in an anchored text frame, I don’t seem to be able to get the border to work for that last paragraph so that’s not ideal but I can probably find a work-around for that.

      Hi,

      Screenshots could be more … understandable!
      Thanks!

      Best,
      Michel, for FRIdNGE
