What I meant was that, even with some sort of anchoring mechanism, I 
think you will likely need to tweak anyway. Most of us (I think) are 
very particular about the appearance and positioning of the graphics 
relative to text, so I just tried to envision how I might get some 
automated way to maintain that, and I can't envision that I would be 
satisfied.
