Anchoring items and groups in text
You can anchor an item or group so that it flows as a character within text. To anchor
an item or group within text, use the Item tool to select the item or group you want
to anchor and choose Edit > Copy (Command+C/Ctrl+C) or Edit > Cut
(Command+X/Ctrl+X). Then, with the Text Content tool selected, place the text
insertion point at the point in text where you want to anchor the item or group and
choose Edit > Paste (Command+V/Ctrl+V).
QuarkXPress also provides support for nested anchors (i.e an anchored item can contain
a further anchored item to the nth level).
Working with callouts
The Callouts feature lets you create floating boxes that always display on the same
page or spread as the content they pertain to. For example:
• You can create figures with pictures and text that follow their references from page to
page.
• You can create pull quotes that can automatically move to a different page with their
source text.
• You can create "floating" icons that sit in the space to the left of a paragraph to indicate
that the paragraph is a tip, a note, a warning, and so forth.

Understanding callouts
A callout is a floating box that always displays on the same page or spread as the content
it pertains to. Each callout is anchored to a particular spot in a text story called a callout
anchor. A callout anchor flows along with text like a character. When a callout anchor
moves to a new page or spread, the callout moves with it. When guides are displayed,
a line links each callout anchor with its associated callout (if any).

A callout's position in a layout is based on two things:
