62 Manipulating Objects
• Position inline as character. The anchored object is placed as a
character in the text and aligned in relation to the text that
surrounds it. The anchored object flows with the text as before.
• Detach from text. The anchored object is disconnected from
its anchor point, leaving a normal unanchored object.
PagePlus objects can be anchored to anywhere in your publication text,
but the floated object can be positioned in relation to indented text,
column, frame, page margin guides, the page itself, or most typically the
anchor point in a text frame.
For text frames, when the text reflows, the anchor point (and therefore
anchored object) reflows with the text. This allows supporting anchored
objects to always stay with supporting text as more text is added to the
frame.
To create an anchored object:
1. Position your unanchored object on the page.
2. Select Anchor Object from the Arrange menu.
3. From the dialog, choose a positioning option:
Either, for a floating object:
i. Enable Float with text. This is the default positioning
option.
ii. Click OK. The
Anchor point appears and your object
is now an anchored (showing an
icon).
