• To apply a callout style to the callout anchor, display the Callout Styles palette
(Window menu) and click the name of the callout style, or choose Item > Callout
Anchor > Callout Styles > [Callout Style Name]. For more information, see
"Working with callout styles."
• To edit the settings of the callout anchor directly, choose Item > Callout Anchor >
Edit Callout Settings. If a callout style has been applied to the callout anchor,
any changes you make will override the callout style's settings.
For information on how to configure a callout anchor or callout style, see
"Configuring a callout anchor."
Configuring a callout anchor
The process of configuring a callout anchor is essentially the same whether you are
configuring a callout style or directly configuring a callout anchor.
To configure a callout anchor:
1
Select the callout anchor and choose Item > Callout Anchor > Edit Callout Settings.
The Edit Callout Settings dialog box displays.
2
To control how the callout aligns horizontally, use the controls in the Align callout
horizontally relative to area. (The Offset field lets you adjust the horizontal
positioning of the callout from where it would otherwise be.)
If you choose Spread from the Align callout horizontally relative to drop-down menu
and specify a horizontal offset, that offset is inverted on left-facing pages. This allows
you, for example, to configure a callout to always be .25" inside of the inside margin;
on a right-facing page, such an offset moves the callout to the right, but on a left-facing
page the offset must move the callout to the left.
3
To control how the callout aligns vertically, use the controls in the Align callout
vertically relative to area. (The Offset field lets you adjust the vertical positioning of
the callout from where it would otherwise be.)
4
To allow the callout to be manually repositioned, check Allow manual positioning
of callout. If you subsequently move the callout, the values in the Offset fields will
be automatically updated to reflect the new position of the callout.
To prevent the callout from being manually repositioned, leave this box unchecked.
5
To prevent the callout from extending beyond the page margins, check Keep within
margins.
6
Click OK.
Working with callout styles
Callout styles make it easy for you to apply often-used settings to callout anchors. To
create, edit, duplicate, or delete callout styles, use the Callout Styles dialog box (Edit >
Callout Styles). You can also use this dialog box to append callout styles from other
projects.
