Problem

Symptoms: In a document with three newspaper columns, there are two figure boxes, both anchored to the page and both boxes are set to the top of the page. The first box has the Horizontal Position set to Column 1, Full; the second box has the Horizontal Position set to Columns 2-3, Full. The second box bumps to the next page. If the user changes the order of the boxes and places the box spanning the columns first, then everything works fine. Solutions: In the example above, the codes in the document are in the following order: [Col. Def][Col. On][Fig Box 1][Fig Box 2]. Both figure boxes are defined inside the first column. If you look at the position indicator on the status line, the cursor is at the top of the page (1") before defining the first box. After defining the first box (the one set for Column 1), the cursor is no longer at the top of the column. It is below the graphics box. WP will not place the second box on the current page because the cursor is no longer at the top of the page when the second box is defined. The program will "bump" the second box to the next page. By defining the box last that is set for Column 1, the cursor remains at the top of the page. WP will not place a page-anchored box on the current page if the vertical position for the box is higher than the cursor position where the code for the box is located.

If you change the order of the codes, the problem will not occur. The code placement should be: [Col Def][Fig Box][Fig Box][Col On]. This allows both figure boxes to be placed on the same page; the first in column 1 and the second in column 3.
