How do I keep a paragraph on one page?

Hi,
I have FrameMaker 10 and Windows 7 and I'm a newbie, having worked with InDesign.  I've reviewed the answers in the forum that include instructions about the paragraph designer, but those solutions, such as keep with paragraph, orphan lines, etc.,  don't help.
Sometimes when I'm typing, the next line jumps to the beginning of the next page even though there's plenty of the current page left.  I guess I must say that this happens when I'm typing into a document that also has material following.  This material usually seems to be an anchored frame.  I've looked at the anchored frame parameters, tried every option, and still I'm stumped. Right now I'm using a workaround; a paragraph style with a font of one point that I insert where necessary to force things to stick together.  Otherwise, my broken line often travels below the anchored frame.  BTW, when I backspace before the line, more material from the previous page jumps down, instead of that piece of sentence being backspaced back up.
Also, in Indesign it's very easy to size content into the frame.  In FM I'm always shift-dragging to picture after import, to get it to the size of the frame.  Is there a better way to do this?
Also, is there a way to change the defaults?  I never want the frame to be cropped but the checkbox is checked and I have to uncheck it every time.
Also is there a keyboard shortcut for getting a page break to the next page?  The popup is very annoying.  I don't even know what 'wherever it fits' means; doesn't a page break mean, the next page?  And how can I get the default to change to 'next page' or better still get rid of that box altogether?
There is no symbol for a page break, so what happens if I want to remove one?  Does this happen automatically if a break is no longer necessary?  Maybe this is connected to my paragraphing problem?
I hope you experts out there can make some sense out of my questions.  PLEASE help, these things are driving me crazy!!  Thank you so much in advance.
PS  This also has nothing to do with master pages or the template; I'm working in a very smooth template that was prepared by experts.  (Luckily.)

This is probably not the answer to all your questions, but I am sure it answers some.
Unlike Word and InDesign, FrameMaker's anchored frames, which hold graphics, "hang" from their insertion points, typically at the end of the paragraph. An anchored frame that follows a paragraph is set to be below the line, the line being the last line in the paragraph. If you turn on View > Text Symbols, you will see a marker that indicates the point from which the anchored frame is hanging.
If the anchored frame is taller than the available space, it is moved to the next page ALONG with that last line. If the paragraph style/tag has a widow/orphan lines number that is more than 1, then that number of lines are also moved to the next page, because the paragraph tag says to keep that many together, EVEN if there is space at the bottom of the previous page.
So, you can set the widow/orphan lines number smaller OR as you have done put a blank line before the anchored frame, which now holds the marker for the anchored frame, and set its font size to 2 pt (the lowest FrameMaker allows) and its line height to zero. This is the standard workaround UNLESS you use the line above the anchored frame as the title/caption of a figure, which is also a typical way of dealing with FrameMaker's ways.
To my knowledge, one cannot change the default of the checked cropped box. Maybe others know of some way to change this.
There is no page break in FrameMaker, hence there is no symbol for it. In the paragraph designer for the paragraph, you set to Start of the paragraph to Top of page. Top of page is FrameMaker's equivalent to a page break. To "remove" a page break, set the Start of the paragraph to Anywhere.
Since you are new to FrameMaker, I suggest reading throught the User Manual that comes with FrameMaker. You will likely find the answers to most of your questions there.
Hope this helps,
Van

  • How to keep a table on one page

    Hi,
    Is there any way to prevent a pagebreak in a table?
    If a table is selected, then the Inspector-Text-More-Pagination&Pagebreak is grayed out.
    I tried Inspector-Wrap-Object Placement-Floating, which indeed keeps the table on one page, but has all kinds of nasty side-effects. I really need to keep the table inline.
    Thank you!

    Archon,
    In the Wrap Inspector, change the Table's property from Inline to Floating. Now you can position it on the following Page and avoid the split. Be careful though, because now you are fully responsible for the table position on the page and it will not split even if it grows larger than a page in length.

  • How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another page or file - on the same screen?

    How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another - on the same screen?

      Open both of your images in the Editor. Click on the image you want to copy and press Ctrtl+A (select all) followed by Ctrl+C (copy) then click the tab for your other image and press Ctrl+V (paste)
    Alternatively click on your background image then simply drag the second image from the photo/project bin and drop it into the main editor workspace on top of the background image. Use the move tool to position and the corner handles of the bounding box to scale.

  • How do i move an app from one page to another

    how do i move an app from one page to another? When I upgraded to the latest software on my 4s, the camera went to the last page rather than remaining on the home page

    What Rudegar says is true, but it's a lot easier to rearrange icons in iTunes:
    Connect your phone and open iTunes. 
    Click on the Apps tab. 
    You will see your home screen in the main window, with the other screens in a scrollable column on the right. Scroll down and click on the last page to put it in main window. 
    Now scroll the column so the home page is visible on the right.
    Click on the Camera and drag it onto the home page at the right. 
    Be careful not to accidentally insert it into another app, thereby creating a group.

  • In my class i am suppose to do a before and after shot, how do i have two photos on one page

    before and after shots..how do i put two photos on one page?? please help

    Good day!
    As Photoshop is not a page layout application but primarily image editing software the concept of "page" has limited relevance.
    Anyway, you could increase the canvas (Image > Canvas Size) and place the other image (File > Place …) or drag and drop it.
    Or create a new image and place both images. Whether doing so as Embedded or Linked Smart Objects makes more sense depends on your workflow, I guess.
    File > Automate > Contact Sheet II would be another option.

  • How do i keep my paragraph style list from growing without my permission?

    Im trying to keep my Paragraph styles organized. Everytime I add a table into my pages document it adds a new header or body eventhough all the fonts in the table are already set up with the paragraph styles that are in the document. Also it wont let me delete the style so I have to rename it and i do so with putting zzz in front of it so it goes to the bottom of the list. unfortnately, i can not figure this out.

  • How to use beans in more than one page

    hello members,
    can somebody tell me how to make beans availabe to more than one page ,i used scope variable as "application"
    in which i set the value of java bean and in that page it show all values of that bean even it modified
    but when redirect to another jsp page it does not show modifided value,it shows its default value
    what shld i use tell me
    following thing that i use in forwarded jsp page
    <jsp:useBean="same id in previous jsp page", class="same class", scope="application"/>
    and then i am using boolean variable which set false default ,but i set it manually though
    setfuction (assume) in original jsp page,but in redirected page it showing it value fasle
    i don't know why
    can somebody (Bean Bond) help me in this problem
    i will very thankfull to you
    plz..................

    My dear friend,
    your scope is wrong. Since you run a JSP page and you want it available everywhere, the only thing that all pages have common is session. So changing your bean scope to session will keep the bean variables and the rest you have on it.
    Try it and let me know.

  • How to read ibooks on landscape orientation one page at a time on iPhone 6 Plus

    How can I force iPhone 6 Plus to show me only one page at the time on landscape orientation on iBooks. Right now it show me one page at the time if it is in portrait orientation but as soon as I turn the phone to landscape orientation it splits and shows me two pages ie page 1 and page 2.

    I've looked everywhere I can think of to change the way that iBooks handles this and cannot find an option to change it. If you choose scrolling view then it will not show two columns but then you scroll to read rather than turning "pages."

  • I have three "pages" of apps, not all of which are full.  How do I move an app from one page to another to consolidate?

    I have three pages of apps, not all of which are full.  How do I move apps from one page to another to have full pages?

    Hook your iPad up to your computer and iTunes and move them from within iTunes.
    Or
    Hold down on one of  your apps until they all start to wiggle. Then hold down on the ones you want to move and drag them on the screen. Drag them to the middle left to move them left,(such as from page 2 to page one) middle right ot move them right,(from page 2 to page 3) rearrange as you want.
    When you're done, tap the home key and everything should stop wiggling.

  • How can I copy/paste text from one page to another?

    I feel like I am taking crazy pills... is there really no way to copy a text box (or group) from one page to another while creating books in Aperture 3?  Lets say I have my entire book laid out and I want to add one paragraph at the end on one page which will push text and photos down a half page or so... in most programs for the last decade or so they added really cool functionality... cut/paste...  It seems like the apple developers are aware of it because they are in the context menus but they don't work on text, only photo boxes.  Additionally, you can copy/paste text but it erases all formatting.
    Seriously, am I missing something?  I have trouble believing that they can't include this function.
    Anyone else have this issue?

    Update... it seems to only happen with text boxes which I create.  So when I try an existing theme I can cut/copy/paste just fine, but in that same theme if you edit the layout and add a new text box, I can't copy paste it anywhere... the options are in the menu but nothing happens.
    Thoughts? Solutions?

  • JS: How to make a script to print one page at a time and set print job name?

    What I want is to print one page at a time to the printer.
    Document.print(false, app.printerPresets.item(0)) almost get me there. But how do I get it to print page by page? There seems to be no way to set which page to print to printerPreset.
    Also, is it possible to change print job name from the default of using document name?

    >Is there any solution to this other than saving the document to a different name before each page print?
    Here is an altered and abriged version of the script that I use. I use print preset called "PS to PDF" in it, so you should change it to your own.
    if(app.documents.length == 0){
       alert("Please open a document and try again.");

    else {
       myPrintPrefs.activePrinterPreset = app.printerPresets.item("PS to PDF"); 
    myDoc.sections.everyItem().sectionPrefix = "";
    myDoc.sections.everyItem().includeSectionPrefix = false;
       var stop = myDoc.pages.length;
       var w = new Window ( 'window', 'Printing PS-files' );
       var pb = w.add ('progressbar', [12, 12, 300, 24], 0, stop);
       var txt = w.add('statictext');
       txt.bounds = [0, 0, 200, 20];
       txt.alignment = "left";
       w.show()
    for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDoc.pages.length; myCounter++){
       curPage = myCounter + 1;
       pb.value = curPage;
