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.
For more information, see the topics below.
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 anchor with its associated callout
A callout’s position in a layout is based on two things:
The location of its callout anchor. A callout is always on the same page or spread
as its callout anchor.
The callout anchor’s settings. You can position a callout relative to the spread,
the page, the box or cell that contains the callout anchor, the paragraph that
contains the callout anchor, or the callout anchor itself.
