Note: If you have more than one anchored object in the same position—for example, if one line of type holds the markers
for two anchored objects with the same anchoring attributes—the objects will overlap each other.
When you copy text containing an anchored object marker, you copy the anchored object as well. If you copy an
anchored object and paste it outside of text, the anchored object becomes an independent image that is not linked to
text.
View anchored object markers on the page
To view anchors and their relationship to the text on the page, you can display object markers. Use any of the following
methods:
• To view the anchor markers in the text, choose Type > Show Hidden Characters.
• To view a dashed line from an anchor marker to its associated custom-positioned object, select the object and choose
View > Extras > Show Text Threads. The thread extends from the anchor marker to the current proxy point for the
anchored object.
• To view anchor symbols on anchored objects, choose View > Extras > Show Frame Edges. Viewing anchor
symbols is helpful when determining which objects are anchored.
Reposition an anchored object on the page manually
Moving a frame moves its anchored objects, unless the object is positioned relative to margins or pages.
Note: Before moving an anchored object, make sure that you deselect the Prevent Manual Positioning option for the object
in the Anchored Objects dialog box or choose Object > Unlock Position.

Do one of the following:
• To move inline anchored objects, use the Selection tool or Direct Selection tool to select the object, and then
drag vertically. You can move inline objects vertically only, not horizontally.
If you want to move an inline or above line object outside of the text frame, convert it to a custom-positioned object
and then move it as desired.
• To move inline anchored objects, use the Selection tool or Direct Selection tool to select the object, and then drag
vertically in horizontal frame or horizontally in a vertical frame. In horizontal text, you can move inline objects
vertically only, not horizontally. In vertical text, you can move inline objects horizontally only.
• To move an inline anchored object parallel to the baseline, place the insertion point before or after the object and
specify a new value for kerning.
If you want to move an inline or above line object outside of the text frame, convert it to a custom-positioned object
and then move it as desired.
To move custom-positioned anchored objects, use the Selection tool or Direct Selection tool to select the object, and
then drag vertically or horizontally.
You can also rotate and transform an anchored object. (See Transform objects and Rotate objects .)
Resize an anchored object
Before resizing an anchored object, make sure that you deselect the Prevent Manual Positioning option in the Anchored
Objects Options dialog box.
?
Use the Selection tool or Direct Selection tool to select the object, and then drag the side or corner handle.
