Hi All, I initiated the question, and Cathy supplied the complete solution, and there is really no need for me to respond. For clarity, however, I'll repeat what Bear said, "The picture placeholder and the anchor are different. Turning on picture placeholders displays an empty box (of the correct dimensions) in place of each picture in the document". Many thanks for your interest and help.
