This is an example column of text with various graphic elements hanging to the left. Each of these is
anchored to the start of a line of text immediately to its right.
It's possible to anchor any graphic object or group, including groups containing text, such as the example
side-panel, shown above.
It's also possible to anchor objects to appear on top of, or below the text. The example pale blue flower
graphic, shown above, is anchored this way and will flow with the text.
Note
: If an anchored object is also set to repel, only the text that the object is anchored to is repelled.
Note
: Repelling is restricted for repeating objects: Text inside a repeating group is only repelled by repelling
objects inside the repeating group. Individual repelling objects inside a repeating group only repel text
that is also inside the repeating group. Repeating groups as a whole can repel any text stacked below on
the page.
Moving Anchored Objects
As new text is added or deleted, the object moves as the text flows, but will always maintain its new
position relative to the anchor point. You can move an anchored graphic by dragging on it as usual. This
changes its position relative to the anchor point, but does not move the anchor point, which remains
visible at the end of the anchor symbol arrow as you click/move the graphic.
If you want to move the anchor point to another location within the text, click and drag on the anchor
symbol again to create a new arrow and drag it to the new location.
If you cut and paste the text containing the caret mark, the anchored object is also cut and pasted.
Viewing the anchor point
The anchor point of an anchored object is only visible if you click the anchored object in the Selector
Tool or click in the surrounding text area in the Text Tool
.
When you click in a region of text with the Text Tool, it shows any anchors points within an inverted 'T'
symbol, and also draws an arrow from the anchor point to the anchor symbol in the top left of each
anchored object. So the easiest way to see all the anchor points for any text is to click in it with the Text
