Positioning Objects
There are various ways of anchoring the objects on a text page, such as graphics and text
frames. The following describes the various options, based on the example of a frame:
Anchoring Effect
as a Character Frames are placed in the document like any other character,
hence, they have an impact on the line size of the line and the line
break.
to Character Frame is with its X and Y coordinates associated to a character,
for example, in the X direction always to the margin and in the Y
direction always to the height of the character (marginal frame).
The frame should be set at “Flow”.
to Paragraph Frame is associated to a paragraph, changes its position with the
paragraph.
on the Page Frame has always the same position in relation to the page
margins.
on Frame Frame is inside the superior frame in a fixed position.
The anchor determines what specific text feature the object is bound to as the document's
content and formatting is altered. For example, it is possible to set the frame on a fixed
position in relation to a page margin, to a paragraph margin, to a text area, etc.
The frame position on even pages can be automatically mirrored, so that a fixed position in
relation to the right side of the page produces a corresponding position on the left side of the
page. For example, a graphic can always be positioned inside the outer edge of pages. Where
the graphic is, say, an arrow pointing to the text, it is a good idea to mirror this automatically
on even pages too. To do this, use the Mirror on even pages option on the Type tab of the
Graphics dialogue (choose Picture in the context menu of the graphic).
