Don't mean to sound curmudgeonly, but if all you want to show is [30], what's the added value of using a graphic instead of a style?

A hearty "thank you" again to everyone who replied.

As an update, I am not going to include a graphic inside a table, because I would have to explain how to do that to the audience I defined in one of my replies. (The users of the template will add many sections to what I have provided.)

Also, the reason there is a ½" time graphic after every heading, is because training materials are, by nature, a visual medium. Training material uses many graphics that other kinds of printed material would not. (Sales is also a highly graphical arena, but it uses different kinds of graphics for different reasons.)

As I said in a reply, I will wait until we are all upgraded to Word 2013, at which point it sounds like the issue will be resolved.

Thanks again to everyone who responded.

While I get it that trying to teach someone to insert a graphic inside a one-cell floating table is a bit much, you don't have to teach anything of the sort.

1) You can have a template that contains the table and graphic.
2) You can create an AutoText entry that has a heading, graphic, and placeholder for following text, and save that in your template.
3) You could attach a keyboard shortcut, or a QAT icon to the AutoText entry and show your students to use that to insert a new point. The keyboard shortcut and/or QAT icon should also be saved in the template.

It is a bit of work for you, but once done, it would be a snap for your students. It would be easier than learning about "keep with next" and "keep lines together" formatting.
