Anchoring a frame
Using the Frame dialog box (or by right-clicking and pointing to
Anchor), you can anchor a frame to a page, paragraph, or character,

To Page

does not move as you add or delete text. This method is useful when
the frame does not need to be visually associated with a particular
piece of text. It is often used when producing newsletters or other
documents that are very layout-intensive.
To Paragraph
The frame is associated with a paragraph and moves with the
paragraph. It may be placed in the margin or another location. This
method is useful as an alternative to a table for placing icons beside
paragraphs.
