*carefully* with the anchors and the settings that fix them to a point

All methods can achieve the desired results. As a document is revised,
paragraphs may be moved - new text and graphics may be inserted - the layout
may change (e.g. 1 column to 2 column). Anchors have worked for me and by
the nature of this discussion, there is more than one way to skin a cat.

If you had a 40' yacht, would you moor it to the pier or let the tide batter
it from one berth to another? - I prefer corn on the cob over popcorn. I'm
just that kinda guy. :-)
