Custom position options
You can use the following options when positioning a custom-positioned anchored object. You can specify these
options in the Insert Anchored Object dialog box or the Anchored Object Options dialog box. For step-by-step
instructions for using these options, see
Position a custom-positioned anchored object .
Relative To Spine Specifies whether the object aligns relative to the document spine. When you select this option, the
Anchored Object Reference Point proxy displays as a two page spread. The two pages mirror each other. When selected,
objects positioned on one side of a spread, for instance the outside margin, remain on the outside margin even when
the text reflows to a facing page.
A Relative To Spine not selected: the object remains on the left side of the text frame when text reflows across to the right side of the spread.
B Relative To Spine selected: the object remains on the outside edge of the page when the text reflows to the right side of the spread.
Note: If, after you select Relative To Spine you adjust the X Offset value, the direction the object moves may change. This
change occurs because the direction of movement depends partly on the side of the spread the object is on.
Anchored Object Reference Point
Specifies the location on the object that you want to align to the location on the page (as specified by the Anchored
Position Reference Point). For example, if you want to align the right side of the object with a page item, such as a text
frame, click a rightmost point on this proxy. For more information on using this reference point, see
Position a custom-
positioned anchored object .
Anchored Position Reference Point
Specifies the location on the page (as defined by the X and Y Relative To options), to which you want to align the object.
For example, if you choose Text Frame for X Relative To and Line (Baseline) for Y Relative To, this proxy represents the
horizontal area of the text frame and the vertical area of the text line containing the object’s anchor marker. If you click
the leftmost point on this proxy, the object’s reference point
will align with the left edge of the text frame and the
baseline of the text.
