Operation Manual

Anchoring formulas
A formula is treated as an object within Writer and its default anchoring is As character within a
paragraph when it is inserted into a document. To change the anchoring of a formula object:
1) Right-click on the selected formula object and select Anchor from the context menu.
2) Select a new anchoring option from the context sub-menu. The anchoring positions
available are To page, To paragraph, To character, or As character.
Alternatively,
1) Right-click on the selected formula object and select Object from the context menu, or go
to Format > Frame/Object on the menu bar to open the Object dialog (Figure 276).
2) Make sure the Type page is selected and select a new anchoring position from the Anchor
section.
3) Click OK to save your changes and close the Object dialog.

Note
The anchoring options are not available in the Object dialog when you are making
changes to the various options available for frame styles. For more information on how
to modify frame styles, please refer to the chapters on styles in the Writer Guide.
Vertical alignment
The normal default setting for vertical alignment for formula objects is to use the text base line as a
reference. This default setting can be changed by modifying the formula frame style, see the
chapters on styles in the Writer Guide for more information.
