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:
Select the callout anchor and choose Item > Callout Anchor > Edit Callout
1.
Settings. The Edit Callout Settings dialog box displays.
To control how the callout aligns horizontally, use the controls in the Align
2.
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.
To control how the callout aligns vertically, use the controls in the Align
3.
callout vertically relative to area. (The Offset field lets you adjust the vertical
positioning of the callout from where it would otherwise be.)
To allow the callout to be manually repositioned, check Allow manual
4.
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.
To prevent the callout from extending beyond the page margins, check Keep
5.
within margins.
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.
