Reply To: Consistent space between frames?

Would you be apposed to Anchoring the Photo to the text frame. It might be easiet to set the spacing values up as an object style then when you would only have to copy and paste your photo with the “Anchored Photo” style in to its descriptive text. If you resize the photo the distance from the text will allways be the same. And if you click “prevent manual positioning” that will keep you from accidentally nudging or dragging the photo. although it would make the size a bit trickier to edit.

Also you could change all the spacing throughout the document. If in the future you want more space you would only need to edit the “Anchored Photo” object style.

Not sure if you are apposed to anchored objects in a whole or just don't want them in your larger text flow.
