specify how linked callouts move with the object. One option is to adjust the length of the leader line, leaving the callout text in place. The
other option is to move both the leader line and callout text, preserving the appearance of the callout group. You can break the link between
a callout and its source object at any time.
You can also add a halo behind the callout. A halo is a mask behind the leader line and text that makes the callout easier to see when it is on
top of another object. Usually, the halo is the same color as the page, although you can choose any color you like.
White halos are applied to the callouts to make them stand out against the underlying objects.
Callouts are added as linked groups. You can break the callout apart if necessary.
You can also add a hotspot to a callout.
You can change the default properties of callouts, such as callout style, callout gap, and halo justification, from the Object styles docker
(Window Object styles). For more information, see “To edit default object properties” on page 472.
