Note: If, after you select Relative To Spine you adjust the X Offset value, the direction the object moves may change. This
change occurs because the direction of movement depends partly on the side of the spread the object is on.
Anchored Object Reference Point
Specifies the location on the object that you want to align to the location on the page (as specified by the Anchored
Position Reference Point). For example, if you want to align the right side of the object with a page item, such as a text
frame, click a rightmost point on this proxy. For more information on using this reference point, see
Position a custom-
positioned anchored object.
Anchored Position Reference Point
Specifies the location on the page (as defined by the X and Y Relative To options), to which you want to align the object.
For example, if you choose Text Frame for X Relative To and Line (Baseline) for Y Relative To, this proxy represents the
horizontal area of the text frame and the vertical area of the text line containing the object’s anchor marker. If you click
the leftmost point on this proxy, the object’s reference point
will align with the left edge of the text frame and the
baseline of the text.
Note: Depending on what you choose for X Relative To and Y Relative To, the Anchored Position Reference Point proxy
displays either three or nine positions. Line options, such as Line (Baseline) provide only three options—middle left, center,
and middle right—because the vertical positioning is established by the anchor marker in the text.
X Relative To Specifies what you want to use as the basis for horizontal alignment. For instance, Text Frame lets you
align the object to the left, center, or right side of the text frame. Where exactly it aligns horizontally depends on the
reference points you choose and any offset you specify for X Offset.
For example, if you want the object to appear in the page margin with its right edge flush with the page margin, choose
Page Margin for X Relative To and specify a rightmost point on the Anchored Object Reference Point proxy and a
leftmost point for the Anchored Position Reference Point proxy.

X Offset Moves the object left or right. Whether it moves to the left or right depends on the reference point. If aligning
to the center of the page item, positive values move the object to the right. The direction of movement also depends on
whether you’ve selected Relative To Spine.
