1. Enable Position inline as character.
2. To set the object's vertical alignment with respect to adjacent
text, select an Align with text option. Text will not flow around
the anchored object.
3. (Optional) Enter a Offset Y by value to set the percentage to
which the object will be vertically offset in relation to its height.
4. (Optional) Check Scale to to scale the object to a percentage of
the adjacent text point size. This keeps the same relative size if
the text size changes. 100% will scale precisely to current point
size.
4. (Optional) Check Use these settings when pasting to update floating
and inline anchor defaults. Any subsequent object pasting will adopt
the anchor settings saved when the option was checked.
5. (Optional) For control of possible object overlap, select an option from
the If objects overlaps drop-down list.
• Allow the overlap. The overlap is left as is.
• Pack into lines means the second object will be placed beside the
first object if there is room, or below it if not.
• Line up left to right/Line up right to left means the second
object will be placed to the right or the left of the first object,
respectively.
• Stack top to bottom/Stack bottom to top means the second
object will be placed below or above the first object, respectively.
6. Click OK. The object appears inline with text, and shows an
Anchor Properties icon.
Objects inserted into text frames will automatically be anchored using "Float
with text" default settings. However, the anchored object can be dragged away
from the anchor point as an alternative method for creating an anchored object.
