1. Re: Anchor table to a paragraph beneath it?
Try the opposite approach.
Create a paratag (e.g. table_anchor) that has a negative Space Below (e.g. -12pt) and also starts at the top of the Right page (or any page, as you need). Then set the table to have Space Above equal to anchoring paratags Space Below, i.e. -12pt in this example, and you will get what you want.
No need for tiny fonts in anchors either. This technique causes the content below (paragraph or table) to ride up & on top of the anchoring paragraph. This can be used for many other features in FM, such as background banners on headers, icon graphics placed beside text, etc.

You can also create an anchored frame, alignment top of column, and put a text frame in it with the table.
The anchoring para will typically also need to have its alignment set to top of column.

Two great ideas. I'll follow up after I try these. I'm in a corporate setting where a choice between the two might not be mine alone to make.

4. Re: Anchor table to a paragraph beneath it?
We're using the table anchor approach for now.
We haven't investigated flows yet, so I don't yet know if we'll use only table anchor for everything.
Thanks again!
