Anchored Graphics
You can position any graphic, or group, so it's tied (anchored) to a position in some text, so that as the
text moves because of editing, the graphic object will move to remain at the same relative position.
1.
The quickest way to anchor a graphic or group is to right click it and choose the Anchor to text
option. However, if you also want to edit anchoring properties, you can right click on the object
and select Repelling & Anchoring to display the Text repelling & anchoring dialog.
2.
Click the Move graphic with text checkbox.
3.
By default Move vertically only is also selected, so that your anchored graphic will only move
vertically as the text is edited. You can click to deselect this option to allow the graphic to move
horizontally with the text. This may be useful if, for example, the graphic is around the same size
as the text height and you want it to stay between specific words or in a specific place in a
sentence.
4.
An anchor symbol appears in the top left of the object, indicating it's now anchored.
5.
Using either the Selector Tool or Text Tool, click and drag the anchor symbol so that a red
arrow appears.
6.
Move the arrow head and drop it in the location in the text where you would like the object
anchored. A red caret (inverted 'T' mark) indicates the anchor position.
7.
As you edit the text around this caret mark, the anchor point and anchored object moves with the
text.
An anchored object displays an anchor symbol and an arrow pointing to the anchor point, shown as a
red caret mark.These disappear as you type, unless you're close to the anchor point.
Note:
If you drag the anchoring arrow to a place on the page where there is no text, the arrow turns into a red
anchor that indicates the object's anchoring properties will be lost if it's dropped here. This also happens
when the arrow is dropped on the object itself.
However note that the anchored object will not move outside the area of the page as a result of the
anchor point moving. The anchored object will only move up to the edge of the page.
