If you want to move an inline or above line object outside of the text frame, convert it to a custom-positioned object
and then move it as desired.
• To move inline anchored objects, use the Selection tool or Direct Selection tool to select the object, and then drag
vertically in horizontal frame or horizontally in a vertical frame. In horizontal text, you can move inline objects
vertically only, not horizontally. In vertical text, you can move inline objects horizontally only.
• To move an inline anchored object parallel to the baseline, place the insertion point before or after the object and
specify a new value for kerning.
If you want to move an inline or above line object outside of the text frame, convert it to a custom-positioned object
and then move it as desired.
To move custom-positioned anchored objects, use the Selection tool or Direct Selection tool to select the object, and
then drag vertically or horizontally.
You can also rotate and transform an anchored object. (See Transform objects and Rotate objects .)
Resize an anchored object
Before resizing an anchored object, make sure that you deselect the Prevent Manual Positioning option in the Anchored
Objects Options dialog box.
❖ Use the Selection tool or Direct Selection tool to select the object, and then drag the side or corner handle.
Note: Vertically resizing inline or above line anchor markers might result in the object becoming overset. If the anchor
marker is overset, the object will be overset as well.
Resizing an anchored object might also reposition the object. For example, if you’ve aligned the right side of an object
to the left side of the text frame, and then you drag the object’s right side handle 1 pica to the left (away from the text
frame boundary), the object will resize and then move back 1 pica to the right.
Release an anchored object
If you no longer want an object to move relative to its associated text, you can release it to remove its anchor.
❖ Select the anchored object with a selection tool, and choose Object > Anchored Object > Release.
The object’s position on the page doesn’t move.
Note: Release doesn’t work for inline or above line objects. If you can’t use Release, select the anchored object and then
cut and paste it. You can also use the Type tool to select and cut the anchored object.
Articles (CS5.5)
Introduction to articles
Articles provide an easy way to create relationships among page items. These relationships can be used to define the
content to be exported to EPUB, HTML, or Accessible PDFs; and to define the order of the content. You can create
articles from a combination of existing page items within a layout, including images, graphics, or text. Once an article
has been created, page items can be added, removed, or reordered. Articles can be created manually by dragging one
or more page items to an article in the Articles panel.
