Inline and Above Line position options
When you choose Inline or Above Line from the Position menu in the Anchored Object Options dialog box, the following options are available for
setting the position of the anchored object. (You can also access these options in the Insert Anchored Object dialog box.)
Aligns the bottom of the anchored object to the baseline. Inline objects are subject to certain constraints when moving along the y axis: the
top of the object can’t go below the bottom leading slug and the bottom of the object can’t go above the top of the leading slug.
Adjusts the position on the baseline. You can also use the mouse to drag the object vertically on the page.
Aligns the object above the text line containing the anchor marker and below the line of text above the anchor marker.
Choose from the following options:
Align the object within the text column. These options ignore indent values applied to the paragraph and align the
object within the entire column.
Align the object left or right depending on the side of the spread the object is on. These options
ignore indent values applied to the paragraph and align the object within the entire column.
Aligns the object based on the alignment defined by the paragraph. This option uses the paragraph indent values when
aligning the object.
Specifies the position of the object relative to the bottom of the leading slug in the preceding line of text. Positive values lower both
the object and the text below it. Negative values move the text below the object up toward the object. The maximum negative value is the height
of the object.
Specifies the position of the object relative to the cap-height of the first character in the line below the object. A value of 0 aligns the
bottom of the object to the cap-height position. Positive values move the text below the object down (away from the bottom of the object). Negative
values move the text below the object up (toward the object).
Using the Space Before and Space After options
A. A Space Before value of 0P10 moves the object and it’s associated text further away from the text line above it. B. A Space After value of 0p10
moves the object and the text line above it further away from its associated text line (below).
Anchored objects set to Above Line will always remain with the line that holds the anchor; the text won’t compose such that the object is on
the bottom of one page and the anchor marker’s line is at the top of the next page.
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
